<div class="PlainText">Hi,<br>
<br>
Until now, the openstack-nova package in RDO had a lax requirement on<br>
qemu-kvm which potentially meant an older version of qemu-kvm (or<br>
qemu-kvm-rhel) would be installed [1].<br>
<br>
We have agreed at the RDO meeting this morning to go ahead and<br>
formally require qemu-kvm >= 2.3 from Newton onwards.<br>
This means that the base (~v1.5.3) qemu-kvm from CentOS (or<br>
qemu-kvm-rhel in RHEL) will no longer satisfy that requirement.<br>
<br>
The CentOS virt SIG maintains qemu-kvm-ev (>=2.3) which obsoletes<br>
qemu-kvm and will be preferred if it is available.<br>
This newer version is largely preferred to the one available by<br>
default in CentOS and RHEL due to improvements, bug fixes and features<br>
that are expected to be there by Nova.<br>
<br>
If you consume RDO's master trunk repositories (Delorean<br>
Newton/Delorean Master), this extra repository is already enabled in<br>
delorean-deps.repo [3] and you do not need to do anything.<br>
qemu-kvm-ev will automatically be installed in place of qemu-kvm.<br>
<br>
If you consume RDO from stable releases, the extra repository will<br>
automatically be enabled in the "centos-release-openstack-newton"<br>
package that will eventually be available.<br>
The repository will also be bundled in the "rdo-release.rpm" package<br>
[4] starting at Newton.<br>
<br>
Please let us know if you have any questions or notice any issues.<br>
><br>
I failed with to deploy overcloud via TripleO Quickstart <br>
having qemu-kvm-ev-2.3 set up on VIRTHOST.<br>
Please , keep TripleO QS team aware of this change.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
Boris.<br>
