Update:

It's been a few days, but I did (finally) enable the virtualization in the
BIOS.

Unfortunately, I have the exact same symptom.

My Ovirt version is  Version 4.4.4.7-1.el8

lscpu shows the vmx, vnmi, and tpr_shadow flags are set.

I did find this tidbit:
https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg64312.html

The Xeon E5-2680 v3 appears to be a "Sandy Bridge-EP" based processor, so
I'm not really clear about why ovirt is looking for the
model_Cascadelake-Server-noTSX flag

The <model usable="yes"/> elements displayed by virsh domcapabilities show
SandyBridge-IBRS and SandyBridge, but not SandyBridge-EP.

I did see references to KVM specific bios enablements, but nothing usable
for identifying them in the BIOS settings.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks again in advance
