[Bug 1660946] Re: [nested] virt-install falls to SLOF
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1664622 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1664622 Thanks Thomas for pointing out the upstream fix. IBM has opened a bug that I dup this one on. There not only one but three patches are suggested.

[Bug 1660946] Re: [nested] virt-install falls to SLOF
Christian, I checked with Breno and while nested virtualization is not something that they encourage use of in a production environment, it is used for testing purposes. They would like to have this working with Ubuntu and have stated it only requires a small fix to qemu. If possible, could you please look at pulling in the fix. Thanks.

Yep, for some reason, the discussion stalled. Thanks for working on this bug. HTM bits should be cleared on nested virt, anyway. Also, HTM is causing other components to fail on nested virt like rtas_errd daemon, which does PCI Hotplug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1660946 Title: [nested] virt-install falls to SLOF To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1660946/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The fix you referred to also is not upstream yet - although it is unclear to me why.

kvm_pr is not "officially/fully/formally" supported for production use, but this mode is extensively used by OpenStack Continuous Integration and it is the testing ground for many other projects. This statement of "not supported" has been changing and Power ecosystem depends on kvm_pr for platform enablement efforts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1660946 Title: [nested] virt-install falls to SLOF To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1660946/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm not entirely sure if kvm_pr (or more defined "the TM feature inside kvm_pr") is meant to be fully supported by IBM owning power in general.

[Bug 1660946] Re: [nested] virt-install falls to SLOF
After going the wrong direction for a while I see the almost hidden, yet so important words - "in nested only" ! That also explains the kvm-pr I wondered about, as I'd have expected kvm-hv if in 1st level. I tried as you instructed - on first stage it worked (Host to lvl 1) Command: $virt-install --virt-type=kvm --cpu=host --name=nested-xenial --controller type=scsi,model=virtio-scsi --graphics none --console pty,target_type=serial --disk path=/home/ubuntu/cpaelzer/test-xenial-virt-inst.qcow2,size=20 --vcpus=4 --ram=4096 --os-type=linux --os-variant ubuntu16.04 --network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio --cdrom=ubuntu-16.04-server-ppc64el.iso On a Xenial system with: ii libvirt-bin 1.3.1-1ubuntu10.6 ii qemu-kvm 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.6 ii virtinst 1:1.3.2-3ubuntu1.16.04.3 And HW: POWER8E - PowerNV 8247-22L Now the same in 2nd level: 1. install all packages for kvm 2. ensure kvm_pr is loaded correctly 3. make sure libvirt default network can start in 2nd level 3. wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/xenial/release/ubuntu-16.04-server-ppc64el.iso 4. virt-install as above, yet shrinked down to fit (5G disk) With that I can confirm your issue. ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1660946 Title: [nested] virt-install falls to SLOF To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1660946/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sounds like your problem only occurs on older versions of Ubuntu, so moving this to the QEMU-Ubuntu bug tracker. ** Project changed: qemu => qemu (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1660946 Title: [nested] virt-install falls to SLOF To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1660946/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
