Re: [Openstack-operators] Passing additional parameters to KVM for a single instance

2018-01-26 Thread Flint WALRUS
I would rather suggest you to deal with flavor/images metdata and host
aggregate for such segregation of cpu capacity and versionning.

If someone have another technics I’m pretty curious of it too.

[Openstack-operators] Passing additional parameters to KVM for a single instance

2018-01-26 Thread Gary Molenkamp
I'm trying to import a Solaris10 image into Ocata that is working under 
libvirt/KVM on a Fedora workstation.  However, in order for the kvm 
instance to work, it needs a few additional parameters to qemu that I 
use in the libvirt XML file:


 
    Westmere
  

 
 
  

For the first parameter, I know I could modify the /etc/nova/nova.conf 
of the entire hypervisor on the compute node to Westmere and limit 
instances to that hypervisor, but that limits additional instances on 
that compute node.   Is there a way to instruct nova to use a westmere 
cpu for a single instance?


Likewise, how can I pass the -no-kvm-irqchip option for instances of 
this image?


Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
