Hi Simone, sorry for the late comment (I just found this thread while researching on nested oVirt-on-VMware issues).
It seems that the problem is generally known and has been solved upstream in kernel 4.16: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1636217 Any ETA on backports in RHEL7? ;-) (Note: should I open a Bugzilla on kernel package for this?) I seems that Hyper-V would experience the same troubles and I think that making nested-inside-Windows-host work should be deemed fairly important for demo/trial/lab uses... :-) In the meanwhile, workarounds have been published for the new Ansible-based setup flow: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/UDVRS5I64WLFJJF7YXKXZNTQOZRJ6DOJ/?sort=date on the other side, I can confirm that with the legacy setup flow (with option --noansible) adding the following to the answer file avoids the problem (did not test whether newer types like pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0 solve it too): OVEHOSTED_VM/emulatedMschine=str:rhel6.0.0 Many thanks. Best regards, Giuseppe ________________________________________ Da: Simone Tiraboschi <[email protected]> Inviato: lunedì 30 luglio 2018 09:20 A: [email protected] Cc: users Oggetto: [ovirt-users] Re: Failed to deploy ovirt engine with "hosted-engine --deploy" On Mon, Jul 30, 2018 at 6:04 AM Bong Shau Fui <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Simone: Yes, it's in a nested environment. L0 is vmware esxi 5.5. I know for sue that a nested kvm env over vmware esxi is still problematic; kvm over kvm works fine instead. regards, Bong SF _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/YQZHWNK2CPSWGWIOB3WOJJ2QZK4HGLAD/ </mailto:[email protected]></mailto:[email protected]></[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]></[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/PZZDLYIA3DWKKBKI2FM42KF5WABQS3PZ/
