Hi Nir & Francesco,
with my qemu modifications in place I wrote a before_vm_start hook. It will
remove
memory hotplug from libvirt XML if VM is defined with machine type pc-1.0.
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import sys
import hooking
import traceback
domxml = hooking.read_domxml()
os = domxml.getElementsByTagName('os')[0]
tp = os.getElementsByTagName('type')[0]
mc = tp.getAttribute('machine')
if mc == 'pc-1.0':
m = domxml.getElementsByTagName('maxMemory')[0]
d.removeChild(m)
hooking.write_domxml(domxml)
With this I'm able to start a Fedora cluster 3.5 based Windows VM on a Centos
3.6 cluster.
And most important: It is still ACTIVATED.
Just filed a RH BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1310458
