im reopening this and marking it as triaged ppc64le has been supported with thrid party integration testing provide by the IBM PowerKVM CI on ppc64el for years here is an example test run https://oplab9.parqtec.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/openstack/nova/68/767368/1/check/tempest-dsvm-full-focal-py3/ef10362/
redhat also ships version fo nova for ppc64el in our downstream product https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/16.0/html/release_notes/chap-introduction#Content_Delivery_Network_CDN_Channels that use libvirt kvm on ppc64el starting with power8 in osp 13 i think and now support power9. stephen is correct that we have no 1st party ci that covers ppc64el but i think its still ok to fix the unit test, the are more likely to regress yes but perhaps we can work with infra to see if we can use qemu to emulate ppc or see if any of our providers have ppc avaiable. i know rackspace used to run a large amount of there cloud on ppc. ** Changed in: nova Status: Won't Fix => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
