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><p style="margin:0px 0px 14px;padding:0px 5px 5px 0px;border:none;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(75,75,75)">I set the image property architecture=ppc64 to the ppc64 image I uploaded to glance but no success in launching VM with those images. 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><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="m_-2359448390677344781gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><p><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Thank you for your
