Ansible task reports them as Xeon 5130. According to Intel Ark these fall in the Woodcrest family, which is older the Nehalem.

Obviously the CPUs support virtualization. I also confirmed the required extensions from the oVirt documents.

# grep -E 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo | grep n

Question for my lab: So is this a situation where "Woodcrest" is simply not in the dictionary? Is there a way to manually add that or "force" it, just to get the engine to deploy? That way I can kick the tires on oVirt while I consider an upgrade to my lab systems. Knowing ahead of time that it is a "hack" and unsupported.

Question for product: If this is an unsupported CPU, shouldn't the installer/Hosted Engine Deployment flag that at the beginning of the process, not 45 minutes later when trying to move the already created VM to shared storage?

Thanks again

What is the CPU?  I'm asking because you said it was old servers, and at some point oVirt started filtering out old CPU types which were no longer supported under windows.   There was also the case where if a certain bios option wasn't enabled (AES?) a westmere(supported) reported as an older model(unsupported).

This is build from 'cluster_facts.ovirt_clusters' cluster_facts.ovirt_clusters is set in 'Fetch Cluster name' cluster_facts is set in 'Fetch Cluster facts' I have not gotten into 'ovirt_cluster_info' module yet. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/ovirt_cluster_module.html I went ahead and dug around in the docs for the other API calls. I found the one that appears to match the ovirt Anbile module call. http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/4.4/#services/cluster I can get the ID of the default cluster, then pull the details. https://ovirt-engine.home.io:6900/ovirt-engine/api/clusters/b198fd0c-f8df-11... "cpu": { "architecture": "undefined", "type": "" } So, the 'Type' and 'Architecture' are still undefined for the cluster, even though the first node is added at this point. I though I would try a post to the API to change the settings, just to see if I could make any progress. PUT https://ovirt-engine.home.io:6900/ovirt-engine/api/clusters/b198fd0c-f8df-11... <cluster> <cpu> <type>Intel Nehalem Family</type> <architecture>x86_64</architecture> </cpu> </cluster> Result: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <fault> <detail>[Cannot change Cluster CPU to higher CPU type when there are active Hosts with lower CPU type. -Please move Host ovirt-node01.home.io with lower CPU to maintenance first.]</detail> <reason>Operation Failed</reason> </fault> Let's find the first node: https://ovirt-engine.home.io:6900/ovirt-engine/api/hosts "address": "ovirt-node01.home.io", "auto_numa_status": "unknown", "certificate": { "organization": "home.io", "subject": "O=home.io,CN=ovirt-node01.home.io" }, "cpu": { "name": "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5130 @ 2.00GHz", } Summary so far: We have the HostedEngineLocal instance online. The first node is joined to the cluster. However, we do not set the cpu architecture or cpu type properties on the cluster object. This is the cause of the playbook failure when we attempt to access the undefined property. I might dig a little more into this to understand why it's not set on the cluster, but that will get into ovirt code and probably not worth the effort. I am able to set the cpu architecture via the API PUT https://ovirt-engine.home.io:6900/ovirt-engine/api/clusters/b198fd0c-f8df-11... <cluster> <cpu> <architecture>x86_64</architecture> </cpu> </cluster> "cpu": { "architecture": "x86_64", "type": "" }, [ INFO ] ["cluster_cpu is {'architecture': 'x86_64', 'type': ''}"] But, as expected, we still fail on the 'type' call in cluster_cpu_model: "{{ server_cpu_dict[cluster_cpu.type] }}" [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Convert CPU model name] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable.

I just needed something to validate against that dictionary. I thought about trying to change the CPU value on the host, so I could get a better API return, but that may cause more issues. It was easier just to set the fact so we could move past that point in the playbook. So I used to lowest value from the list. ~~~ 115 - name: HACK - Set cluster_cpu.type 116 set_fact: 117 cluster_cpu: {'type':'Intel Nehalem Family', 'architecture':'x86_64'} 118 - name: HACK - Trace the fact we set 119 debug: 120 msg: 121 - "cluster cpu is {{ cluster_cpu }}" ~~~ [ INFO ] ["cluster_cpu is {'architecture': 'x86_64', 'type': ''}"] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : HACK - Set cluster_cpu.type] [ INFO ] ["cluster cpu is {'type': 'Intel Nehalem Family', 'architecture': 'x86_64'}"] Now the hosted engine deployment progressed and the image file is created on the NFS storage.

When I dig into the job API I find a large queue of failed jobs: "description": "Adding unmanaged VMs running on Host ovirt-node01.home.io to Cluster Default", "status": "failed", Looks like it loops through attempting this operation until it times out. Something is still stopping that HostedEngineLocal instance from transferring over to the cluster. Tempted to look into the ovirt_disk_28.py and ovirt.py to see if I can track down why it won't transfer to the cluster. But out of time and need to get real work done instead of playing. True end result, as much as this was entertaining and educational, this ate up way too much time from the OKD work I needed to do. Was hoping to use the Install Provisions Infrastructure option with the ovirt/OKD integration. Guess it's back to UPI on a different hypervisor until I can get some newer hardware.

Obviously the CPUs support virtualization. I also confirmed the required extensions from the oVirt documents.

# grep -E 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo | grep n

Question for my lab: So is this a situation where "Woodcrest" is simply not in the dictionary? Is there a way to manually add that or "force" it, just to get the engine to deploy? That way I can kick the tires on oVirt while I consider an upgrade to my lab systems. Knowing ahead of time that it is a "hack" and unsupported.

Question for product: If this is an unsupported CPU, shouldn't the installer/Hosted Engine Deployment flag that at the beginning of the process, not 45 minutes later when trying to move the already created VM to shared storage?

Thanks again

What is the CPU?  I'm asking because you said it was old servers, and at some point oVirt started filtering out old CPU types which were no longer supported under windows.   There was also the case where if a certain bios option wasn't enabled (AES?) a westmere(supported) reported as an older model(unsupported).

      set_fact:              cluster_cpu_model: "{{ server_cpu_dict[cluster_cpu.type] }}"

      server_cpu_dict is good, I can find that in the logs, cluster_cpu is       undefined.       But this is normal correct? The Cluster CPU type is "undefined"       until the first host is added to the cluster.       The error makes it seems that server_cpu_dict and not       cluster_cpu.type is the problem.       I'm not sure this is really the problem, but that is the only undefined variable I can find.

      Any advice or recommendation is appreciated       -Thanks in advance       _______________________________________________       Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org <mailto:users@ovirt.org>       To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org       <mailto:users-leave@ovirt.org>       Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html       <https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html>       oVirt Code of Conduct:       https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/       <https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/>       List Archives:
