There is definitely a problem with the edk2-ovmf file. Today my hosts updated to RHEL 8.5
which installed edk2-ovmf-20210527gite1999b264f1f-3.el8, all my hosts stopped working
giving the error "Host HOST moved to Non-Operational state as host CPU type is not
supported in this cluster
compatibility version or is not supported at all". Looking at the properties of the
hosts, their CPU Type: was completely blank.
Following your advice, I downgraded edk2-ovmf to version 20200602gitca407c7246bf-4.el8_4.2
which appears to have fixed the problem.
Many thanks for this.
