[ovirt-users] q35 machine support?

2014-11-02 Thread Paul Jansen
SNIP
   After doing some more searching I came across these two pages:
   http://www.ovirt.org/Cluster_emulation_modes
   http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Cluster_parameters_override
  
   It sounds like this may allow me to achieve what I've described above.
   From what I can tell the 'emulated machine type' is tied to the ovirt 
   cluster 
   level - ie: 3.5.
  
 
  you can switch q35 with pc-1.0 in ClusterEmulatedMachines config value for 
  version 3.5
 Thanks Paul for asking and Roy for answering. I thought q35 would be the
 default anyway the whole time ;)
 
 engine-config -s ClusterEmulatedMachines=q35,rhel6.5.0
 
  then create a new cluster and add that host to it. once the host is up this 
  emulation mode should be set.
 
  in 3.6 you'd be able to choose an emulation mode per VM.
 Paul, since this is really useful would you mind to open an RFE in BZ
 and post the link here, so we can keep track of this feature?

Hi Daniel.
Sorry for the late reply on this.
I'm happy that this feature is currently documented in the wiki pages that I'd 
referenced above and is on the feature plan for 3.6.
The workaround that was specified does what I need for now.
Proper support in 3.6 will need to consider some other things, such as allowing 
attaching of disks to the sata interface on the q35 machine.
3.5s current workflow doesn't provide a way to cater for that.  Perhaps 
allowing atachign 'virtio-scsi disks to this interface woudl work fine, but 
then there's issue with the naming.
Additionally, there have been issues reported with live migration of machines 
that have the ICH9-AHCI controller enabled.
Any RFE should handle these multifaceted issues - and others I'm not aware of - 
so given I don't understand all the ins and outs I'd prefer not to raise this.
I'd be interested to hear Sandro's take on how this should likely proceed 
though.___

[ovirt-users] q35 machine support?

2014-10-23 Thread Paul Jansen
Is there a way to get QEMUs q35 machine in Ovirt?
I've just upgraded my ovirt 3.4.4 install that has a couple of EL6.5 hosts.
If I create a cluster with EL7 or F20 hosts will I get the option to use the 
q35 machine?
If so, how can I select this?

Thanks.

you can switch q35 with pc-1.0 in ClusterEmulatedMachines config value 
for version 3.5


  engine-config -s ClusterEmulatedMachines=q35,rhel6.5.0

then create a new cluster and add that host to it. once the host is up 
this emulation mode should be set.


in 3.6 you'd be able to choose an emulation mode per VM.

is there some other way to achieve this now?

Thanks Roy.  I will give this a try, create a new cluster and add a new host to 
test this out.___
