Without it, anyway, the second level VMs are unusable in terms of performance. I am using CentOS 7 with: kernel: 3.10.0-327.22.2.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm:1.5.3-105.el7_2.4 libvirt:1.2.17-13.el7_2.5 on both the baremetal and the compute VM. Please, post 1) # virsh dumpxml VM-L1 ( where on L1 level you expect nested KVM to appear) 2) Login into VM-L1 and run :- # lsmod | grep kvm 3) I need outputs from VM-L1 ( in case it is Compute Node ) # cat /etc/nova/nova.conf | grep virt_type # cat /etc/nova/nova.conf | grep cpu_mode Boris. The only workaround now is to shutdown the compute VM and start it back from baremetal with virsh start. A simple restart of the compute node doesn't help. It looks like the qemu-kvm process corresponding to the compute VM is the problem.

The baremetal has nested KVM enabled and 1 compute node as a VM. Inside the compute node I have multiple VMs running. After about every 3 days the VMs get inaccessible and the compute node reports high CPU usage. The qemu-kvm process for each VM inside the compute node reports full CPU usage. Please help me with some hints to debug this issue. Thanks, Laurentiu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
