Hi all,
I'm pretty new to OVirt so forgive me if this problems is trivial...
I received an old IBM BladeCenter H chassis with a few HS22 blades. Some of them are
successfully working in my Ovirt farm, but some not. The NonOperational nodes are not used
because of missing Westmere model. I use 4.3.10 wersion because 4.4 did not supported some
old HW (net adapters, IIRC).
The problem is that many blades are almost identical. For example ("Hosts" page
--> "General" tab --> "Hardware" section):
* BLADE 1 (not working):
Manufacturer:IBM
Family:System x
Product Name:BladeCenter HS22 -[7870H4G]-
Version:07
UUID:e36b6686-d111-11df-9dce-e41f13cb90d0
Serial Number:06FP476
CPU Model Name:Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @ 2.93GHz
CPU Type:Intel Nehalem IBRS SSBD Family
CPU Sockets:2
CPU Cores per Socket:6
CPU Threads per Core:2 (SMT Enabled)
* BLADE 2 (working fine):
Manufacturer: IBM
Family: System x
Product Name: BladeCenter HS22 -[7870H4G]-
Version: 07
UUID: 30f2fcc8-d0ce-11df-bc12-e41f13cb90cc
Serial Number: 06FP469
CPU Model Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @ 2.93GHz
CPU Type: Intel Westmere IBRS SSBD Family
CPU Sockets: 2
CPU Cores per Socket: 6
CPU Threads per Core: 2 (SMT Enabled)
They have same CPU, same HW model, even S/N shows they were produced in the same time. How
is it possible to identify X5670 so differently? Any hints/suggestions what to
check/change?
"Software" section of BLADE 2 (the good one):
OS Version: RHEL - 7 - 8.2003.0.el7.centos

Most likely they have some different configuration in the BIOS/CMOS/etc. setup.
Perhaps also try comparing the output of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' between
them, and search general linux documentation about the meaning of the
flags that are different between them.
Good luck and best regards,

SSH to the hypervisour and alias virsh to:
alias virsh='virsh -c
qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf'
Then run and provide the output from both hosts:
virsh domcapabilities
lscpu
Also , check if the rpms are the same (rpm -qa) and compare them.
