Public bug reported: Libvirt driver in Nova needs to add a check for min required qemu/libvirt versions on ppc64/ppc64le. The checks for ppc64/ppc64le are missing, so could lead to users deploying Nova on unsupported hypervisor platforms with older versions of qemu/libvirt. QEMU/KVM is supported on multiple platforms with different levels of qemu/libvirt.
Ref: Min versions for s390/s390x: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/183486 ppc64: - qemu 1.6.0 - libvirt 1.2.9 Older versions might work, but developers indicate this is a safe min version for ppc64. This is equivalent to the kvm stack provided in Fedora 20 for ppc64. ppc64le: - qemu 2.1 - libvirt 1.2.11 commit da636d83dc6b1d070a705786b4daef8644eaca13 enables ppc64le in libvirt, which matches to 1.2.10/11 PCI passthrough is available since qemu-2.0. However, features like pci hotplug, memory/cpu hotplug and pcipassthrough/srvio hotplug will be supported in qemu-2.4, maybe 2.5. ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Assignee: Rafael Folco (rafaelfolco) Status: In Progress ** Tags: openstack-nova -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
