Description

This problem is rather cosmetic: memory encryption is only supported for instances with ephemeral root disks created from images. Documentation: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/sev.html Quote: In all cases, SEV instances can only be booted from images which have the hw_firmware_type property set to uefi, and only when the machine type is set to q35. This can be set per image by setting the image property hw_machine_type=q35, or per compute node by the operator via libvirt.hw_machine_type as explained above. As a result, we are talking about flavor/image check not being able to handle cinder volume-based image objects properly, but affected operations itsself should have failed anyway. This is not high-severity problem and looks like ambiguous error message to me. |
