Hey all, Using a homogeneous ovirt-node-ng-4.3.7-0.20191121.0 freshly created cluster using node installer I am unable to deploy the hosted engine. Everything else worked. In vdsm.log is a line, just after attempting to start the engine: libvirtError: the CPU is incompatible with host CPU: Host CPU does not provide required features: virt-ssbd I am using AMD EPYC 7282 16-Core Processors. I have attached - vdsm.log (during and failing the start) - messages (for bootup / libvirt messages) - dmesg (grub / boot config) - deploy.log (browser output during deployment) - virt-capabilites (virsh -r capabilities) I can't think -or don't know- off any other log files of interest here, but I am more than happy to oblige. notectl check tells me Status: OK Bootloader ...

I could not find if that CPU supported SSBD or not. Log into one your nodes via console and run, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and check the "flags" section and see if SSBD is listed. If not, then look at your cluster config under the "General" section and see what it has for "Cluster CPU Type". Make sure it hasn't chosen a CPU type which it thinks has SSBD available. I have a Xeon X5670 and it does support SSBD and there is a specific CPU type selected named, "Intel Westmere IBRS SSBD Family". Hope this helps. ________________________________________ From: Christian Reiss <email@christian-reiss.de> Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2019 7:55 AM To: users@ovirt.org Subject: [ovirt-users] HCL: 4.3.7: Hosted engine fails Hey all, Using a homogeneous ovirt-node-ng-4.3.7-0.20191121.0 freshly created cluster using node installer I am unable to deploy the hosted engine.

Hey, for the record and if someone else is looking for a solution: The given ones were not solving the issue, even editing the config via virsh semi-failed as the ansible playbook kept deleting the vm and re-creating it, always resulting in new UUIDs. What did solve the issue was to use an external bare-metal CentOS 7 ovirt engine. I could then configure the cluster as usual. -Chris. On 11/12/2019 13:55, Christian Reiss wrote:

Oh, shoot. Replied to the wrong email. I meant to reply to my own with subject "[ovirt-users] HostedEngine Deployment fails on AMD EPYC 7402P 4.3.7" How it came to reply to *this* thread I am unsure. My apologies. -Chris. On 08/01/2020 10:39, Christian Reiss wrote:
