Nova Compute Service throwing error nova requires Qemu version 2.1.0 or greater


Nova compute service is not running in the fresh devstack installation of OpenStack ; giving an error

nova requires Qemu version 2.1.0 or greater

when I checked version info I found the qemu-kvm version 2.9.0 was available but hypervisor was running on qemu 2.0.0 all other services are running fine.

Solution

  • qemu is provided by two different repos qemu-ev and EPEL. libvert only sees qemu version installed by epel repository. so removing epel repo and restarting libvirt service should fix the issue

    sudo yum remove qemu-system-x86
    sudo service libvirtd restart
    sudo service devstack@n-cpu restart
