Hi Mercado, If I read it right, you're trying to run x86 VM on a arm64 KVM host using CloudStack? If that's the case, yes - CloudStack doesn't support x86 VM on arm64 hosts. In fact, what CloudStack supports wrt KVM is same arch guest on the same arch host.
Trying to emulate x86 on arm64 will be super slow and I think current arm64 processors may not support that (or for full virtualisation).

I have a CloudStack 4.17 cluster x86_64 using KVM/QEMU as a hypervisor. I've been exploring the possibility of using a Raspberry Pi as a host, as an alternative to conventional servers. Following the steps of this tutorial [https://rohityadav.cloud/blog/cloudstack-arm64-kvm], I managed to integrate the Raspberry Pi as a host in CloudStack and was able to create a VM using an arm64 template. However, the issue arises when attempting to create an x86_64 VM, where log indicates that QEMU doesn't support KVM. I've been able to mount x86_64 VMs using only QEMU, suggesting that the issue might be related to the CloudStack agent on the Raspberry Pi host. I would greatly appreciate any additional guidance on how to address this matter and if anyone has had similar experiences when attempting to virtualize x86_64 in a CloudStack environment using KVM/QEMU and Raspberry Pi as a host.
