i have set "host-passthrough" in "/etc/nova/nova.conf" ================================= [DEFAULT] libvirt_cpu_mode = host-passthrough [libvirt] cpu_mode = host-passthrough ================================= and restart nove service: # service nova-compute restart for now it works! "lscpu" on guest os shows me the AMD EPIC with all features, very nice. but after reboot the compute-node, the auto-config script change this setting back to "none": [libvirt] cpu_mode = none and passthrough did not work anymore :( so how can i prevent this auto-config or define my new config as persistent? volker... ________________________________________ Von: Michel Thebeau [michel.thebeau@windriver.com] Gesendet: Freitag, 18.

Did you try "Passthrough"? I'm asking internally about cpu model support and I'll respond if I hear anything interesting. M On Thu, 2019-01-17 at 16:23 +0000, von Hoesslin, Volker wrote:
it is impossible to set a EPIC (or any other AMD) as guest CPU?

but my compute node seems to support EPIC CPUs?
cat /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map/x86_EPYC-IBRS.xml
<cpus> <model name='EPYC-IBPB'> <signature family='23' model='1'/> <vendor name='AMD'/> <feature name='3dnowprefetch'/> .... <feature name='xsavec'/> <feature name='xsaveopt'/> </model> </cpus>
some tips for me how to handle this?

hi, my setup has two computes nodes, every node has a dual AMD EPYC 7601 CPU config. how can i bring all the CPU features (AES, SSSE3, ...) to the guest VMs. i have tryed with some flavor-metadata but nothing realy helps, the VMs getting just a little subset of cpu-features. some investigations to the kvm-settings hit me to the facts that my nova config has "cpu_model=none" !? how can i fix that and bring my AMD EPIC CPU to my nova-config?!
