Mon Oct 20 09:44:31 UTC 2014

My upgrade went well no problems.
Unfortuneatly I am not able to run any VM on Intel Hosts.
It throws an error: Exit message: internal error internal error NUMA memory
tuning in 'preferred' mode only supports single node.
I cannot edit numa menu it is disabled on the VM.
thanks,
Arman.
