Dear Developers,
Sorry for interrupting if i sent to wrong email group, but i got a problem on
running Solaris 10 on icehouse openstack.
I found it is need to disable CPU feature x2apic so that solaris 10 NIC
could work in KVM as following code in libvirt.xml
<cpu mode="custom" match="exact">
<model>SandyBridge</model>
<vendor>Intel</vendor>
<feature policy='disable' name='x2apic'/>
</cpu>
if without line
<feature policy='disable' name='x2apic'/>
the NIC in Solaris could not work well.
And I try to migrate the KVM libvirt xml to Nova. I found only two options
to control the result.
First I used default setting cpu_mdoe = None in nova.conf , the Solaris 10
would keep rebooting before enter desktop env.
And then I set cpu_mode = custom, cpu_model = SandyBridge. Solaris 10 could
start up but NIC not work.
I also set cpu_mode = host-model, cpu_model = None. Solaris 10 could work
but NIC not.
I read the code located
in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py. Is that
possible to do some hacking to customize the cpu feature?
Thank you and I am really looking forward your reply.
Have a nice day and Merry Christmas!
Best Regard.
Elbert Wang
