Issue deploying VM with Nodeweaver running on KVM

[jason]

I am running a 3-node Nodeweaver test cluster on the same Ubuntu 18.04 machine under KVM, and am hitting problems trying to deploy the ubuntu 18.04 VM from Nodeweaver’s app store.

The version is NodeWeaver 11.5 build 2002080133.

Any suggestions welcome!

The error is:

When I first started hitting the problem, the error was:

20:28:06 2020 [Z0][VMM][I]: Command execution fail: cat << EOT | /var/tmp/one/vmm/kvm/deploy '/var/lib/one//datastores/0/2/deployment.0' 'node4745' 2 node4745

20:28:06 2020 [Z0][VMM][I]: ExitCode: 255

This first problem was addressed by adjusting the cpu model in virt-manager to be host-passthrough based on this article.

Any help appreciated!

Dear Jason, we know of some issues with relatively older CPU intel models caused by an interaction of the BIOS with one of the security microcode updates, and appears only in freshly installed clusters. We have already sent an update for that, and it should be installed automatically within 1 hour from boot. Please check that the cluster is able to connect (in the services tab, there should be a line in green with “NodeWeaver connectivity services available”). If it still appears, I would ask you to open a ticket (on https://ticket.nodeweaver.eu/ ) including the cluster serial and the cluster name if possible, and we can check why the update is not being applied to your cluster.

Thanks. Ticket filed.
