ANNOUNCE: centos-release-xen switching to 4.8 next week
by Anthony PERARD 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Greeting, We are about to update the centos-release-xen package to point to Xen 4.8 rather than 4.6. I'll push the update next week. As a reminder, you can "pin" your installation to Xen 4.6 by installing centos-release-xen-46 and then removing centos-release-xen. And for the more adventurous, that update will come with a new package centos-release-xen-410 to install Xen 4.10. (Testing will be updated today.) Cheers, -- Anthony PERARD

TPM
by Dag Nygren 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hi all! Just setting up a cluster using Centos 7 We have a desperate need for TPM support and: 1. Tried the "standard" distro install. linvirt supports TPM passthrough but kvm-qemu barfs: "unsupported configuration: The QEMU executable /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm does not support TPM backend type passthrough" 2. The activated the qemu-ev repo and updated qemu-kvm to version 2.10.0, which for sure should support at least passthrough. No luck - Same error message. Downloaded the source for th rpm and found a line: "--disable-tpm" in build_configure.sh. Guess that the maintainers has some reason to turn tpm off. Can somone confirm this? 3. And now what next? The setup would really need swtpm, which should be available in 2.11.0. Can someone confirm that tpm will be enabled here? Would also be nice having a libvirt that will accept the swtpm configuration. the current don't like it. Could of course recompile qemu myself, but really wouldn't like going that route. The sheer number of patches applied is quite scary... Best Dag

FYI, I won't be around for the Virt SIG meetings on 21 August or 4 September. Does anyone want to step up and chair those, or should we just take a summer holiday and cancel them? -George
