Thanks for the quick response.
Ansible task reports them as Xeon 5130.
According to Intel Ark these fall in the Woodcrest family, which is
older the Nehalem.
Obviously the CPUs support virtualization.
I also confirmed the required extensions from the oVirt documents.
# grep -E 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo | grep n
Question for my lab:
So is this a situation where "Woodcrest" is simply not in the dictionary?
Is there a way to manually add that or "force" it, just to get the
engine to deploy? That way I can kick the tires on oVirt while I
consider an upgrade to my lab systems. Knowing ahead of time that it is
a "hack" and unsupported.
Question for product:
If this is an unsupported CPU, shouldn't the installer/Hosted Engine
Deployment flag that at the beginning of the process, not 45 minutes
later when trying to move the already created VM to shared storage?
Thanks again
