2020-08-19 06:29:04 Christian Ehrhardt  description bionic ussuri - arm64 (aarch64) QEMU emulator version 4.2.0 (Debian 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.3~cloud0) Error in log is: nova.exception.InternalError: Nova requires QEMU version 2.11.0 or greater This error may be a red herring as this particular version of nova does not display capabilities for aarch64, only armv6l https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/JmPsDSwHBv/ If I downgrade to the version in the train cloud-archive (1:4.0+dfsg-0ubuntu9.8~cloud0) then nova-compute service starts - this problem is not present in focal, which also has version also has 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.3 [Impact] * Libvirt (and other management software on top of qemu/kvm) probes capabilities of the current platform, this breaks on arm with the current builds making it unable to use KVM on this platform through the management stack. * The fix ensures that probing with -machine none won't break on platforms with different -cpu support (differs per platform) [Test Case] * We will run the regression tests to cover any implications to !arm * The openstack Team will re-run their tests that uncovered the issue to confirm that execution on arm is not affected by the bug anymore (nor showing new issues). [Regression Potential] * The fix only affects "-machine none" cases which are sort of exclusive for probing which was formerly broken. Therefore there should not be any regressions, but if any then on non-arm machines in rgard to that probing. Any reboot of a machine with libvirt re-probing capabilities would reveal that - so we should be safe after testing is ok.
