[CentOS-virt] Installing support for q35 chipset
Hello
I have recently had to reinstall Centos 7.5 to on host computer. I have
not be able to set-up qemu to support the q35 chip set. I have several
virtual machines that require q35. This is not my first install, I have
configured libvirt on many machines in the past, it just worked, it has
not required any manual configuration.
[root at sj aadmin]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -machine help
Supported machines are:
none empty machine

I have installed the Virtualization Host group. Configured the nvram in
the /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, I even used the same copy from a previous
installation.
nvram = [
"/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd:/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd",
"/usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd:/usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_VARS-pure-efi.fd"
]
Thank you

I installed the qemu-kvm-ev, this version has the pc-q35-rhel bios. I am not sure why the RHEL packages were not loading the q35 bios. Thanks Aaron
