** Description changed:
- Hi,
+ [Impact]
+ On Ubuntu installs where --no-recommends is enabled as the default, users of
nova are unable to boot instances on non-x86 based architecures
- If you deploy a nova-compute unit on arm64 with openstack-origin='cloud
- :xenial-pike', ipxe-qemu does not get pulled, so nova fails to create
- instances because :
+ [Test Case]
+ Deploy openstack using charms on amr64
+ Boot instance
+ Fails with error message from original bug report
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal; ipxe-qemu is a Depends for x86, but this appears to be a legacy
feature; nova will use libvirt in such a way that ipxe-qemu roms are needed on
all architectures.
+
+ [Original Bug Report]
+ If you deploy a nova-compute unit on arm64 with
openstack-origin='cloud:xenial-pike', ipxe-qemu does not get pulled, so nova
fails to create instances because :
2018-03-06 14:58:59.608 9770 ERROR nova.compute.manager [instance:
50a8ca28-d43c-4c36-8354-edea0138e7f1] if ret == -1: raise libvirtError
('virDomainCreateWithFlags() failed', dom=self)
2018-03-06 14:58:59.608 9770 ERROR nova.compute.manager [instance:
50a8ca28-d43c-4c36-8354-edea0138e7f1] libvirtError: internal error: process
exited while connecting to monitor: 2018-03-06T14:58:58.689865Z
qemu-system-aarch64: -device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=fa:16:3e:12:80:f6,bus=pci.1,addr=0x0:
failed to find romfile "efi-virtio.rom"
(and efi-virtio.rom comes from ipxe-qemu)
This is because of the Depends change on nova-compute-kvm :
cloud-archive nova-compute-kvm has :
Depends: nova-compute-libvirt (= 2:16.0.3-0ubuntu1~cloud0), qemu-kvm |
qemu-system (>= 1.3.0) | kvm
regular nova-compute-kvm has :
Depends: nova-compute-libvirt (= 2:13.1.4-0ubuntu4.2), qemu-system (>= 1.3.0)
| kvm
and qemu-kvm only pulls qemu-system-arm, whereas qemu-system brings in
all architectures, including qemu-system-x86, which pulls in ipxe-qemu.
I guess one fix is to make qemu-system-arm64 depend on ipxe-qemu
Thanks
