[ovirt-users] Re: Update to 4.4.8 leaves cluster in a circular error-state

Hi,

I think you're hitting the same issue with the edk2-ovmf package as some
users before [1], please check the version of that package. If it is
20200602gitca407c7246bf-5.el8 it is a broken version and you should
downgrade to 20200602gitca407c7246bf-4.el8_4.1.

Regards,

Lucia

There shouldn't be any breaking change in that CPU definition in 4.4+ 
compatibility version.


Unfortunately not, I've already made irreversible changes to the cluster 
so that I can no longer reproduce the error which I got when I tried to 
activate one of the Dell hosts and which resulted in an error about the 
CPU family.


After having wiped out most of the configurations I still do get a 
related error:


"The host CPU does not match the Cluster CPU Type and is running in a 
degraded mode. It is missing the following CPU flags: vmx, nx, 
model_Westmere, aes. Please update the host CPU microcode or change the 
Cluster CPU Type."


This error is not quite accurate since lscpu does list all of the flags 
mentioned above, except for the model_Westmere.


IIRC there were some comments in the mailing list earlier this year WRT 
this flag-mismatch and being related to incompatible linux-firmware 
package. Currently the host that generates this error has this package 
installed:


Name: linux-firmware
Version : 20210702
Release : 103.gitd79c2677.el8

Will need to dig through the mailing list archives.

Hi,

Could you please share more details about the CPU problem you're facing?
There shouldn't be any breaking change in that CPU definition in 4.4+
compatibility version.

Lucia
