Barak Korren commented on OVIRT-1059:
-------------------------------------

Unless we're going to either allow running x86_64 VMs on PPC hosts or build engine for PPC, our current infrastructure cannot run OST on PPC.

A PPC Lago port would be needed, and if no PPC build of engine will be done, I guess we will need to add multi-arch capabilities to Lago (Can PPC qemu/kvm emulate x86_64 machines?).

Another option to consider is creating some kind of "Lago swarm" where Lago would be able to run an engine VM on an x86_64 host and a host VM on a PPC host, and have them talk to each other. Perhaps we could use oVirt itself as the substrate to do this once oVirt gains a simple an reliable overlay networking support.

Bottom line - several new Lago and possibly oVirt features would be required to accomplish this.

> We're using ppc64le hosts in oVirt CI infrastructure under oVirt management.
> It's our own production system so I think it would be valuable to have system tests running also with ppc64le hosts, not only x86_64.
