Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • In some cases, it might be useful to have the BIOS debug logs to understand an issue.
  • QEMU allows the creation of devices that tap on the debug console of the BIOS
  • There's no way to pass custom QEMU arguments in OpenStack, we need to have a QEMU wrapper

Environment

  • Red Hat OpenStack Platform - Lab environment

Please note that this is not a permanent solution for production environment. This implementation might affect all the instances running on a compute node.
