Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are unable to live-migrate VM's from new compute node to older compute node and back and forth as we get the following error:
2022-10-27 12:28:10.620 7 ERROR oslo_messaging.rpc.server nova.exception.InvalidCPUInfo: Unacceptable CPU info: CPU doesn't have compatibility.
  • The command virsh capabilities gave me the following cpu model:
      <model>Broadwell-IBRS</model>
      <vendor>Intel</vendor>
  • But this should be an Ice Lake CPU according to the OS and the specs: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6338 CPU @ 2.00GHz
