Not so long ago openstack-nova started to require qemu-kvm-rhev instead
of qemu-kvm.
This made it impossible to install on Virtuozzo, which used to work well
before the change.
I think Virtuozzo is based on CentOS.
Right, to a large extent. However, our QEMU package is much closer to
qemu-kvm-rhev than to CentOS' qemu-kvm. It's still different from
qemu-kvm-rhev in some respects so we don't feel comfortable providing
"qemu-kvm-rhev" in our package.
The thing is EL7 is stuck at RPM 4.11.x. If we had RPM 4.13.x, we could
have used boolean dependencies to do that:
Requires: qemu-kvm-rhev >= 2.9.0 or qemu-kvm-virtuozzo >= x.y.z
Meanwhile, we don't have much alternatives than the one already
suggested to provide qemu-kvm-rhev
I skimmed through the related tickets
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367696
https://review.rdoproject.org/r/1900
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1392820
https://review.rdoproject.org/r/9858
but failed to understand the motivation behind this change. What are
those particular features that are only present in qemu-kvm-rhev and
make the vendor-neutral requirement insufficient? So far we didn't
notice any issues running recent enough QEMU with Nova, but I guess this
must have changed.
Dan has already responded. In short, 'qemu-kvm-rhev' is the recommended
RPM for Red Hat OSP.
This is clear :) I'm interested in a longer reply to "why", in order to
figure out how to correctly run Nova on top of Virtuozzo.
Thanks,
Roman.
In short, it's a trimmed version of qemu-kvm for enterprise users:
* unsupported devices/features are disabled
* features backported from the next branch (including support for newer CPU)
Most patches are linked to an upstream pull request, or a ticket for bugs.
In our case, I think we're mostly interested in live migration features
backports, but that might not be accurate or up-to-date as I'm not
focusing on compute.

H.
