Update:
It's been a few days, but I did (finally) enable the virtualization in the
BIOS.
Unfortunately, I have the exact same symptom.
My Ovirt version is Version 4.4.4.7-1.el8
lscpu shows the vmx, vnmi, and tpr_shadow flags are set.
I did find this tidbit:
The Xeon E5-2680 v3 appears to be a "Sandy Bridge-EP" based processor, so
I'm not really clear about why ovirt is looking for the
model_Cascadelake-Server-noTSX flag
The <model usable="yes"/> elements displayed by virsh domcapabilities
show
SandyBridge-IBRS and SandyBridge, but not SandyBridge-EP.
I did see references to KVM specific bios enablements, but nothing usable
for identifying them in the BIOS settings.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks again in advance
