Thanks for your report.

Looks like there is a mistake in the hostrequires paramater. You can request either by:

  --hostrequire '<system><numanodes ..></system'

which is the recommended way or by:

  --hostrequire 'numa_node_count >= 2'

which is deprecated but still works.

Would you mind to confirm?

Both way you mentioned are working:

# bkr workflow-simple --hostrequire="<system><numanodes op='&gt;=' value='2'/></system>" --debug --distro="RHEL-7.2-20151030.0" --task="/distribution/dummy" --prettyxml --arch="x86_64"

					<distro_name op="=" value="RHEL-7.2-20151030.0"/>

				</and>
			</distroRequires>
			<hostRequires>

So the problem is --hostrequire="numanodes >= 2" used to work but not working now.

Are you sure that has ever worked? What Beaker versions did you see it work/stop working?

Maybe you were using it and by coincidence it was giving you machines with more than 1 NUMA node even though the filter was having no effect?

We introduced the <numanodes/> filter, which must be enclosed in <system/>, in Beaker 0.10.1:

https://git.beaker-project.org/cgit/beaker/commit/?id=12cb295834a207629862b88efa53f0b342a07abe

Prior to that the only supported filter was <numa_node_count/>.

Ok, got it. Thanks for clarify this, I think this could be closed as NOTABUG now.
