Re: [Users] 6.4 CR: oVirt 3.1 breaks with missing cpu features after update to CentOS 6.4 (6.3 + CR)

Hi list, I tested the upcoming CentOS 6.4 release with my lab installation of oVirt 3.1 and it fails to play well. Background: freshly installed CentOS 6.3 host in a Nehalem CPU-type Cluster with 2 other hosts. Storage is iSCSI. Datacenter and Cluster are both version 3.1. oVirt 3.1 was installed via Dreyou's repo. In CentOS 6.3 all is fine and the following rpms are installed: libvirt.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8 libvirt-client.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8 libvirt-lock-sanlock.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8 libvirt-python.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8 vdsm.x86_64 4.10.0-0.46.15.el6 vdsm-cli.noarch 4.10.0-0.46.15.el6 vdsm-python.x86_64 4.10.0-0.46.15.el6 vdsm-xmlrpc.noarch 4.10.0-0.46.15.el6 qemu-kvm.x86_64 2:0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.10 uname -a Linux vh-test1.mydomain.com 2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 6 03:10:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux virsh cpu capabilities on 6.3: <cpu> <arch>x86_64</arch> <model>Nehalem</model> <vendor>Intel</vendor> <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='1'/> <feature name='rdtscp'/> <feature name='pdcm'/> <feature name='xtpr'/> <feature name='tm2'/> <feature name='est'/> <feature name='smx'/> <feature name='vmx'/> <feature name='ds_cpl'/> <feature name='monitor'/> <feature name='dtes64'/> <feature name='pbe'/> <feature name='tm'/> <feature name='ht'/> <feature name='ss'/> <feature name='acpi'/> <feature name='ds'/> <feature name='vme'/> </cpu> and corresponding cpu features from vdsClient: cpuCores = 4 cpuFlags = fpu,vme,de,pse,tsc,msr,pae,mce,cx8,apic,mtrr,pge,mca, cmov,pat,pse36,clflush,dts,acpi,mmx,fxsr,sse,sse2,ss,ht, tm,pbe,syscall,nx,rdtscp,lm,constant_tsc,arch_perfmon, pebs,bts,rep_good,xtopology,nonstop_tsc,aperfmperf,pni, dtes64,monitor,ds_cpl,vmx,smx,est,tm2,ssse3,cx16,xtpr, pdcm,sse4_1,sse4_2,popcnt,lahf_lm,ida,dts,tpr_shadow,vnmi, flexpriority,ept,vpid,model_Conroe,model_Penryn, model_Nehalem cpuModel = Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3430 @ 2.40GHz cpuSockets = 1 cpuSpeed = 2394.132 So the system was updated to 6.4 using the continuous release repo.

The only difference I can see is that 6.4 exposes one additional cpu flags (sep) and this seems to break the cpu recognition of vdsm. Anyone has some hints on how to resolve or debug this further? What more information can I provide to help? Best regards Patrick _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
