Hi,

I think you're hitting the same issue with the edk2-ovmf package as some users before [1], please check the version of that package. If it is 20200602gitca407c7246bf-5.el8 it is a broken version and you should downgrade to 20200602gitca407c7246bf-4.el8_4.1.

Regards,

Lucia

Unfortunately not, I've already made irreversible changes to the cluster
so that I can no longer reproduce the error which I got when I tried to
activate one of the Dell hosts and which resulted in an error about the
CPU family.

After having wiped out most of the configurations I still do get a
related error:

"The host CPU does not match the Cluster CPU Type and is running in a
degraded mode. It is missing the following CPU flags: vmx, nx,
model_Westmere, aes. Please update the host CPU microcode or change the
Cluster CPU Type."

This error is not quite accurate since lscpu does list all of the flags
mentioned above, except for the model_Westmere.

IIRC there were some comments in the mailing list earlier this year WRT
this flag-mismatch and being related to incompatible linux-firmware
package. Currently the host that generates this error has this package
installed:

Name        : linux-firmware
Version     : 20210702
Release     : 103.gitd79c2677.el8

Will need to dig through the mailing list archives.
