Re: Reg : qemu-kvm upgrade in KVM hypervisor agent
Hello, I tried to use qemu-kvm-ev with ACS 4.11.2 and have found out that it makes impossible to take a snapshot of a running instance's volume. :-( On Thu, Jun 13, 2019 at 07:16:24AM +, Pavan Kumar Aravapalli wrote: > Hello, > As part of KVM upgrade it's found that default package 'qemu-kvm' [ which > comes with OS distro] does not support machine chipset type 'q35'.

Re: Reg : qemu-kvm upgrade in KVM hypervisor agent
Pavan, No need to alter the spec, once you install centos-release-qemu-ev the next "yum update" will update your qemu-kvm without breaking rpm deps. Please note qemu-kvm-ev has more features, but it is not part of CentOS Base. It's a community effort and it does not meet the kind of enterprise level of QA you would expect from stock CentOS packages. Expect problems at some point. In fact I remember someone had to downgrade recently because of issues (which I do not recall, it's on the ml). HTH -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

Reg : qemu-kvm upgrade in KVM hypervisor agent
Hello, As part of KVM upgrade it's found that default package 'qemu-kvm' [ which comes with OS distro] does not support machine chipset type 'q35'. And this support can be leveraged by installing 'qemu-kvm-ev' which is from centos-release-qemu-ev repo. I saw some some old mail threads saying that they have integrated qemu-kvm-ev, but still in agent bundle rpm requirements [https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/packaging/centos7/cloud.spec] I found old 'qemu-kvm' only. Can we leverage this package qemu-kvm-ev in agent rpm bundle?. Has anyone faced any issues in Cloud Stack after upgrading the package. ~Regards, Pavan.
