It seems errata was released  in 6.6 for this problem with libvirt:
https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/errata/details/Details.do?eid=28512
package is libvirt-0.10.2-46.el6_6.1.x86_64.rpm

Not tested yet at my side.

OK, seems a stock RHEL 6.6. I wonder if the recommended hv settings
are really supported on old QEMUs. Need to check about this: will do and will 
report.

If you'll be the most welcome to file a bug against oVirt for this issue,
and set target release to 3.5.1, so we can track this issue.

This is totally expected. qemu-kvm-rhev provides additional facilities
and it is better to use it.

 I've also noticed that I can't live snapshot machines because it says my
 underlying qemu doesn't support it and thought that might be a related

This is weird,

the only functionality qemu-kvm-rhev provides which is not in
qemu-kvm on el6/7 is live snapshots.
So this really should work.

The bug indicated by Francesco is specificaly against RHEL 6.6

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6, support was added for libvirt to report
whether QEMU is capable of creating snapshots. However, libvirt did not
probe for the snapshot capability properly. As a consequence, the snapshot
capability of KVM Guest Image in VDSM was reported as unavailable even when
it was available, and creating a disk snapshot in some cases failed. With
this update, libvirt no longer reports QEMU snapshot capability, and
therefore does not cause the described problem.


Sven, you want a too simple life (and me too... ;-)

[ovirt-users] oVirt 3.5 on RHEL 6.6 hyperv enabled breaks Windows VMs

2014-10-24 Thread Charles Gruener
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110305

This enabled the hv_relaxed flag on all my Windows VMs, causing them to no
longer boot.  The same thing would happen if I simply booted from the
Windows install media.  I would get a screen with a stop error:

Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code: 0x001E
Parameters:
0xC096
0xF802C4044EA4
0x0
0x0

I created a file called
/etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/01-windows.properties that had one line:

os.windows_xp.devices.hyperv.enabled.value = false

I restarted ovirt-engine and now I can start my Windows VMs.

Why does this occur?  Is it because I upgraded from 3.4 to 3.5?  Is there
something else I'm doing wrong?  I would like to not need this workaround.
Thanks.

Hi,

we are running the hyperv flags since months in our Win7 VMs without any issue. 
As we are still on OVirt 3.4 FC20 infrastructure we set them with hooks (and 
really depend on them).

Maybe RHEL related?
