Hello,

I've tried many times to run a node as a guest in ovirt following http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Vdsm_Developers#Running_Node_as_guest_-_Nested_KVM . The result is that I'm able to register such a host in engine, but it is impossible to start any vm on it. If I boot on an ISO, I can see the first prompt and move between the items. But since I begin the installation I have a blank screen and the vm goes into pause mode in vit-manager. Then I have no way else than rebooting the hypervisor guest because it is impossible to resume. When I get logs on the real host, I can find this : arning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 17:11:59 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 15:11:59.384+0000: 23054: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 17:12:19 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 15:12:19.150+0000: 23055: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 17:45:48 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 15:45:48.342+0000: 23058: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 18:07:05 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 16:07:05.834+0000: 23058: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Nehalem not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 18:44:47 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 16:44:47.340+0000: 23057: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Penryn not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used

As you can see, I have tried many cpu type for launching this guest hypervisor, but none of them is accepted by the hypervisor. Plus, I've modified each time the family type in the cluster tab, but it is the same.
On the hist:
#virsh capabilities gives
<cpu>
<arch>x86_64</arch>
<model>Westmere</model>
<vendor>Intel</vendor>

Thanks for your help


What does the command 'qemu-kvm -cpu ?' give ? Could you please try the following guest cpu definition?
*
<cpu match='exact'>
   <model>core2duo</model>
  <feature policy='require' name='vmx'/>
</cpu>

I've got error too during definition of nested kvm.

When i run qemu-kvm cpu ? i get: Unable to find x86 CPU definition. do you know why? what does this command show?

how do i add your configuration suggestion to my guest cpu?
Here's the output of "qemu-kvm -cpu ?". It shows us which cpu models qemu can emulate.
x86       Opteron_G3
x86       Opteron_G2
x86       Opteron_G1
x86          Nehalem
x86           Penryn
x86           Conroe
x86           [n270]
x86         [athlon]
x86       [pentium3]
x86       [pentium2]
x86        [pentium]
x86            [486]
x86        [coreduo]
x86          [kvm32]
x86         [qemu32]
x86          [kvm64]
x86       [core2duo]
x86         [phenom]
x86         [qemu64]

You can use 'virsh edit' or edit the xml configuration file of the vm to specify the cpu model. Just put the cpu definition into the root (domain) tag.
<domain type='kvm'>
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>core2duo</model>
<feature policy='require' name='vmx'/>
</cpu>

After that, you should be able to see it in the output of 'virsh dumpxml'. And the cpuinfo from guest should read like this:

#cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor    : 0
vendor_id    : GenuineIntel
cpu family    : 6
model        : 15
model name    : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T7700  @ 2.40GHz
