Description of problem: When an instance is spun up on a VM running openstack (as opposed to bare metal), we see the following error in the nova-compute logs: "libvirtError: unsupported configuration: CPU specification not supported by hypervisor" Workaround: Add the line: libvirt_cpu_mode=none to /etc/nova/nova.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-nova-compute-2012.2-0.7.f3.fc18.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot an instance Actual results: Instance status goes to error. Expected results: Instance status goes to error.
Jiri, do you have any knowledge of problems with setting CPU models when running a QEMU instance inside a KVM guest. The scenario is that OpenStack sets mode="host-model" for all guests by default, this works fine running guest on bare metal, but fails when running inside a guest.
Ah, I guess it fails because libvirt is not able to match host CPU with any CPU model it knows about. Can you confirm that by running 'virsh capabilities' and checking the <cpu> element there? If that's the case, the host is likely masking some CPU features that are comonly present in all CPU models. A feature called "sep" is known to be missing in guests running on RHEL hosts, for example.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
