Virtualization on POWER7
Dear all,
As informed by Dr. Yesha, we @ UMBC are working on provisioning virtual nodes from the POWER7 blade. And, I wanted to update regarding the restrictions that I have come across in achieving the same.
Virtualization with RedHat EL (RHEL) is not possible on POWER7 -
1. Latest version of RHEL - version 5 for power systems uses kernel version 2.6.18. However, KVM is only supported on kernels 2.6.24 or later.
2. Virtualization support in RHEL is available only under the x86 architectures. (http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/virtualization_support.html#virt_matrix)
The only way, is to make use of PowerVM (an IBM product). I spoke to the IBM Customer representative and he confirmed that the only way to perform virtualization on POWER is to make use of PowerVM. However, VCL does not have support for provisioning over PowerVM. I would like to know if it would be feasible to procure PowerVM and integrate it with the VCL framework. Please let us know your comments regarding the same.
Regards,
Sunil

I have re-uploaded the files with the "Grant license to ASF for inclusion
in ASF works" option selected. Please let me know if you have problems in
integration.
PS- Changes to database are mentioned in the attached documentation.

Not quite correct… Note that there isn't an Apache Feather next to those files… This means the "Grant license to ASF for inclusion in ASF works" was not selected.
This is not an absolute requirement. Just posting the files indicates that Sunil wishes to donat the files. However, clicking this button makes things quite explicit and is the preferred technique.

Thanks Sunil. It looks like you uploaded the files correctly to the
Jira issue. One of the current Apache VCL committers will need to
actually commit the code to the repository. In order for VCL to
officially support Power7 in future releases someone will need to
periodically test it and make code updates accordingly. If you're
willing to do this or are interested in making other code
contributions we can pursue making you a committer. Please reply if
you're interested. Also, please reply to the vcl-dev list for all
future correspondence.
Thanks,
Andy

Attached is a document & 2 patch files that reflect the changes that I have made to get VCL working on POWER7.
If you need further information, please let me know about the same.

Re: Virtualization on POWER7

Right.
What I'm asking is would you be willing / interested in creating the
powerVM VCL provisioning module? This could be similar to the kvm
module, but using the powerVM commands.
Also did you have Power7 working? Did you have to make any changes to
the xCAT module? Or any new OS modules?

We would certainly be targeting the development towards the larger VCL community. But, this development is possible when the PowerVM package is made available. I would assume a module that is similar to the existing KVM module should serve the purpose.

Sunil,
I think this would be a great addition. While I've not used Power7 or
PowerVM. I do know of some interest in VCL supporting this.
The VCL community is looking for good committers. Would you be
interested in developing this, not only for UMBC but for the larger
VCL community? Given the work you've already done with Power7 and VCL
with xCAT, it appears you have a pretty good understanding of the VCL
code structure.
Thanks,
Aaron
