ppc64: pseries-rhel7.4.0 machine type
Last modified: 2017-08-01 23:32:30 EDT
We need a new power machine-type for RHEL-7.4: pseries-rhel7.4.0
A prerequisite of the machine-type is the backport of the following patch otherwise pseries-7.3.0 is broken: 16a2497 target-ppc: Fix CPU migration from qemu-2.6 <-> later versions [from ppc-for-2.8 branch]
Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.8.0-2.el7
Verified the pseries-rhel7.4.0 machine type is already added and currently we are executing functional test for all the kvm features with pseries-rhel7.4.0 machine type except forward/backward migration (which requires older machine types). So, I'll verity the bug. # rpm -q qemu-kvm-rhev qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-1.el7.ppc64le # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M ? Supported machines are: none empty machine pseries-rhel7.2.0 pSeries Logical Partition (PAPR compliant) pseries-rhel7.3.0 pSeries Logical Partition (PAPR compliant) pseries pSeries Logical Partition (PAPR compliant) (alias of pseries-rhel7.4.0) pseries-rhel7.4.0 pSeries Logical Partition (PAPR compliant) (default) # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pseries-rhel7.4.0 VNC server running on ::1:5900
