Hi Zhenyu, as far as I know there’s no one actively adding code support ARM at the moment. But it shouldn’t be awfully hard. For ppc64le and s390x platform we just ported the hypervisor side. ovirt-engine itself is running on x86_64. That simplifies things. The only complexity is in the different device model for VMs and few features here and there. Patches welcome!:) All we would need from oVirt side is contributing some machine for CI, and of course committing to maintain a healthy status of builds and tests.
S390x port might be a good starting point, it’s relatively recent (2-3 years ago), and done almost exclusively by Viktor Mihajlovski, so this[1] gives you actually a pretty good picture how many changes that are. Things have changed a bit since then, but I would still say it’s pretty simple to add another platform, given enough time and skill…(again, supposing you’re fine with x86 manager) HTH, michal [1] https://github.com/search?q=org%3AoVirt+mihajlov&type=commits > On 11 Sep 2020, at 09:39, Zhenyu Zheng <zhengzhenyul...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Sandro, > > Thanks for the reply and info. > I'm actually representing the openEuler ovirt SIG here, they have been > working on porting and testing for a few months, > and there is some progress.
