Hello, I'm in 4.4.3 and CentOS 8.3 with 3 hosts.
I have a high performance VM that is running on ov300 and is configured to be run on any host.
It seems that both if I set or not the option
Migrate only to hosts with the same TSC frequency
I always am unable to migrate the VM and inside engine.log I see this:

Can you verify if it is only my problem?
Apart from the problem itself, what is "TSC frequency" and how can I check if my 3 hosts are different or not indeed?
TSC frequency is the frequency with which Time Stamp Counter register is updated, typically a nominal CPU frequency (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Stamp_Counter for more details). You can check the value oVirt gets from libvirt by running # virsh -r capabilities and looking at the line like <counter name='tsc' frequency='2133409000' scaling='no'/> in the output. Unless frequency scaling is available, the host frequencies must be almost the same in order to be able to migrate high performance VMs among them. Note there is a bug that may cause a migration failure for the VMs even between hosts with the same frequencies (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1821199). But this is apparently not your case, since the migration is prevented already by Engine. Regards, Milan
Normal VMs are able to migrate without problems
