Hi all,
I confirm that:
1) the machine type pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0 is enough to solve the problem
2) the OVEHOSTED_VM/emulatedMachine variable in answers file is NOT enough (the engine vm hangs again as soon as it gets rebooted, after the successful initial setup), but the VDSM hook in https://gist.github.com/RabidCicada/40655db1582ca5d07c9bbf2c429cdd01 solves the problem (for further vms too, arguably)
Many thanks.
Best regards,
Giuseppe

Hi Simone,
sorry for the late comment (I just found this thread while researching on nested oVirt-on-VMware issues).
It seems that the problem is generally known and has been solved upstream in kernel 4.16:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1636217
Any ETA on backports in RHEL7? ;-)
(Note: should I open a Bugzilla on kernel package for this?)
I seems that Hyper-V would experience the same troubles and I think that making nested-inside-Windows-host work should be deemed fairly important for demo/trial/lab uses... :-)
In the meanwhile, workarounds have been published for the new Ansible-based setup flow:
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/UDVRS5I64WLFJJF7YXKXZNTQOZRJ6DOJ/?sort=date
on the other side, I can confirm that with the legacy setup flow (with option --noansible) adding the following to the answer file avoids the problem (did not test whether newer types like pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0 solve it too):
OVEHOSTED_VM/emulatedMschine=str:rhel6.0.0
Many thanks.
Best regards,
Giuseppe

Hi Simone:
Yes, it's in a nested environment. L0 is vmware esxi 5.5.
I know for sue that a nested kvm env over vmware esxi is still problematic; kvm over kvm works fine instead.
regards,
Bong SF
