For RHEL 7.5 (comes out sometime in April-2018), the following Nova upstream commit should be backported to RHOS-10 (given its long-term support cycle): commit 807579755c4a116309eca5b2bcdbab9d1f393bab Author: Matt Riedemann <mriedem.os> Date: Wed Sep 20 10:44:11 2017 -0400 Support qemu >= 2.10 Qemu 2.10 added the requirement of a --force-share flag to qemu-img info when reading information about a disk that is in use by a guest. We do this a lot in Nova for operations like gathering information before live migration. [...] RHEL 7.5 will ship with QEMU 2.10, which will bring in an additional flag '--force-share' — this is mandatory when running `qemu-img info` on a live Nova instance. Nova does this `qemu-img info` call in several places. This change needs to be backported to RHOS-10, given its support life-cycle: RHOS-10: End of Production, Phase 2: December 16, 2019
