In fact - I can't use raw binaries from the ovirt repo itself, because these qemu-kvm binaries contains one bug, which is already fixed in Debian: If you want to migrate Windows from hardware node to VM using CentOS 7.1 on hardware node and libvirt xml config: <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> ..... <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-acpitable'/> <qemu:arg value='file=/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SLIC'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> Winodws not working correctly in this case, because Windows requires, what oem_id and oem_table_id from SLIC must be also placed into oem_id and oem_table_id of RSDT. Debian version of qemu-kvm contains workaround for this windows bug, and using Debian - Windows VM will works fine. But CentOS packages does not contain such workaround, so qemu-kvm-ev now must be patched manually with each new release. Patch already was created by Michael Tokarev in 2014: this is file mjt-set-oem-in-rsdt-like-slic.diff from https://packages.debian.org/jessie/qemu-kvm This patch cleanly applies also to qemu-kvm-ev-2.1.2-23.el7_1.3.1 See mjt-set-oem-in-rsdt-like-slic.diff and qemu-kvm.spec.patch in attach for details. After executing rpmbuild -ba qemu-kvm.spec you can place new qemu-kvm binaries into /srv/download/centos/7/privat/x86_64/Packages create local repo and use it for upgrading rpm packages, for example, see privat.repo and privat-createrepo-7-x86_64 in attach. ============================================================== Better if this workaround of Windows bug will be included into RHEL/CentOS ovirt repo binaries, and this will allow to anybody easy migrate Windows from hardware nodes to VMs and easy run CentOS/RHEL at hardware nodes. P.S. After patching qemu-kvm - option acpitable works without any bugs: # man qemu-kvm -acpitable [sig=str][...] If a SLIC table is supplied to qemu, then the oem_id from the SLIC table will be copied into the RSDT table (this is a Debian addition). > ----- Original Message ----- >> Is it possible to use binary packages build from >> http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.5/rpm/el7/SRPMS/qemu-kvm-ev-2.1.2-23.el7_1.3.1.src.rpm >> with plain CentOS 7.1 and use all other packages from CentOS >> (libvirt, virt-manager, etc) >> >> Is it have reasons, if I not use live migrations and qcow2 snapshots? >> (instead use zfs, zvols and zfs snapshots for VM disks online backups) >> >> Is using qemu-kvm-ev with CentOS 7.1 have any disadvantages? -- Best regards, Gena -------------- next part -------------- --- qemu-kvm.spec.orig 2015-05-15 13:27:19.000000000 +0300 +++ qemu-kvm.spec 2015-07-29 23:25:04.421842297 +0300 @@ -93,7 +93,7 @@ Version: 2.1.2 Release: 23%{?dist}_1.3.1 # Epoch because we pushed a qemu-1.0 package.

This way, say, OEM version of Windows7 can be run inside qemu using the same OEM activation as on bare metal, by pointing at system firmware: -acpitable file=/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SLIC Windows7 requires that OEM ID in RSDT matches those in SLIC to consider SLIC to be valid. This is somewhat hackish approach, but it works fairy well in practice.
