Hello all,
I have consolidated the ideas for enabling ppc64 in ovirt-engine in a
feature page: http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/Engine_support_for_PPC64
Suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated.
iiuc, the most obvious change to mention is addition of an 'arch' field
to cluster, which would affect the list of supported cpu families, etc.?
(and to later know to filter all other aspects of entities based on this
arch field)?
list of possible arch's would be per cluster compatibility level.
i'd expect default for API of this field to be x86_64 for backward
compatibility, so it is not mandatory.
I'd also prefer this field to be disabled or hidden if there is only one
option available in it.
it gets more complicated, as VMs can be moved around between clusters,
exported/imported, etc.
you would need to validate a VM isn't moved to a cluster with a
different arch, or imported into a cluster with a different arch as well.
(probably more like that).
i assume the config to filter device types per arch like the network
devices is also for console (spice), audio, etc.
the system already has the concept of filtering per cluster level, so
filtering per cluster level and arch would mean reviewing all places in
code for that.
