As a preparation for the Bullseye update we need to switch the KVM machine type for the Ganeti cluster to pc-i440fx-3.1 (the "hardware" provided by qemu 3.1). Otherwise we wouldn't be able to migrate machines between Bullseye (which would default to pc-i440fx-5.0) and Buster nodes.
This requires the following steps:
- sudo gnt-cluster modify --hypervisor-parameters kvm:machine_version=pc-i440fx-5.2
Restart all instances of the cluster. A reboot from within the OS isn't sufficient, this needs to be rebooted on the Ganeti level so that the KVM instance gets restarted (kind of comparable to resetting a computer with the power button). There's a cookbook for this:
