No wonder given that the guest remains 5 years out of date even when 
using a different hypervisor. Leaving aside that also the long-term 
kernel installed from ElRepo that you are using is also more then 4 
years out of date.

Please update the OS(es) to the current supported OS versions ( that is, 
7.6 / 6.10 ) and verify if the problems persist. But you've already been 
told that by several persons...
