OK, seems a stock RHEL 6.6. I wonder if the recommended hv settings
are really supported on old QEMUs. Need to check about this: will do and will report.
If you'll be the most welcome to file a bug against oVirt for this issue,
and set target release to 3.5.1, so we can track this issue.
I noticed the machines do not have the qemu-kvm package installed,
only
qemu-kvm-rhev. What's the difference in those two packages? When I try to
manually install qemu-kvm, it won't and lets me know that:
"Package 2:qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.445.el6.x86_64 is obsoleted by
2:qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.14.x86_64 which is already installed"
This is totally expected. qemu-kvm-rhev provides additional facilities
and it is better to use it.
I've also noticed that I can't live snapshot machines because
it says my
underlying qemu doesn't support it and thought that might be a related
issue.
This is known and different issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1149667
hopefully the fix will be available soon
The machines have Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 CPUs, if it makes any
difference.

Thanks!
