Opened: Jul 31, 2018 Severity: 3-Major
A BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) configured with multiple QuickAssist virtual functions (QAT VFs) does not finish booting.
BIG-IP VE may not finish booting.
-- BIG-IP VE has VE SSL Offload enabled in its license. -- There are 2 or more QAT VFs per TMM thread, for example a configuration with 8 vCPUs and 16 QAT VFs.
Use virt-manage to configure the BIG-IP VE virtual machine with one of the 'q35' machine types (e.g., pc-q35-2.11) instead of an i440FX machine type. The q35 machine type is not supported by QEMU 1.5.3, which is distributed with RHEL/CentOS 7.x. Either use Ubuntu 18.04 on the hypervisor server, or install QEMU 2.10.0 on CentOS 7.x. QEMU 2.10.0 is available for CentOS 7.x as an oVirt RPM. The oVirt project is the upstream open source version of Red Hat Virtualization. Installing the oVirt RPM will upgrade qemu-kvm. The oVirt RPM can be installed by activating the oVirt repository and then installing qemu-kvm-ev: sudo yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release42.rpm sudo yum install qemu-kvm-ev
