6.4 CR: oVirt 3.1 breaks with missing cpu features after update to CentOS 6.4 (6.3 + CR)
Hi list,
I tested the upcoming CentOS 6.4 release with my lab installation of oVirt 3.1 and it fails to play well.
Background: freshly installed CentOS 6.3 host in a Nehalem CPU-type Cluster with 2 other hosts. Storage is iSCSI. Datacenter and Cluster are both version 3.1. oVirt 3.1 was installed via Dreyou's repo.
In CentOS 6.3 all is fine and the following rpms are installed:
libvirt.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8 libvirt-client.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8 libvirt-lock-sanlock.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8 libvirt-python.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8 vdsm.x86_64 4.10.0-0.46.15.el6 vdsm-cli.noarch 4.10.0-0.46.15.el6 vdsm-python.x86_64 4.10.0-0.46.15.el6 vdsm-xmlrpc.noarch 4.10.0-0.46.15.el6 qemu-kvm.x86_64 2:0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.10

So the system was updated to 6.4 using the continuous release repo.
Installed rpms after update to 6.4 (6.3 + CR):

Full outputs of virsh capabilities and vdsCaps are attached. The only difference I can see is that 6.4 exposes one additional cpu flags (sep) and this seems to break the cpu recognition of vdsm.
Anyone has some hints on how to resolve or debug this further? What more information can I provide to help?
Best regards Patrick

If you boot the older kernel on the new install, does it work as it did previously?

Hi,
Good idea. I tried that, but it doesn't change a thing. Output from virsh and vdsClient is the same as with 6.4 kernel.
