As I dont have any Power machines I would like to try it with ppc64 VM's. Is it possible to run these kind of VM's on my OpenStack cluster(Queens) which runs on X86_64 architecture nodes(OS RHEL 7)??</p>

Constructing and running a modern CPU in software would be non-trivial.</p>

I am using KVM as hypervisor(qemu 2.10.0) in my compute nodes and I think it is not built to support power architecture. For testing without OpenStack I manually built qemu on a x86_64 host with ppc64 support(qemu-ppc64) and then I am able to host the ppc64 VM. But I dont know how to do this on my OpenStack cluster. Whether I need to manually build qemu on compute nodes with ppc64 support or I need to add some lines in my nova.conf to do this?? Any help to solve this issue would be much appreciated.</p>
