Description
If the OS:ARCH is not specified in the VM template file, with KVM, the default value may cause problems : incompatible architecture with the prepared image.
Please add a check for the presence of this setting instead of fixing a default.

Thanks in advance

While working on the bug, I just realized that the code is ready to work as you described. Just removed or comment the ARCH entry in vmm_exec_kvm.conf. This will fail the deployment if no ARCH is provided (as you do not provide a default for your users).

Uh, here, it doesn't fail the deployment per se, at least on 3.2.1, tested on my Debian system.
Worse, kvm is started and boot of the VM gets stuck (see Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/673173).
Is there really a check for this missing mandatory attribute upon KVM deployment ?

Yep, check LibVirtDriverKVM.cc:178
if ( arch.empty() )
{
get_default("OS","ARCH",arch);
if ( arch.empty() )
{
goto error_arch;
}
}
....
You should see
"No ARCH defined and no default provided."
in vm.log.
Please could you check that you have modified the right file?

OK, the sources for 3.2.1 (that I'm running) indeed seem to contain this check... so maybe I modified the wrong files...
I think that I modified /etc/one/vmm_exec/vmm_exec_kvm.conf to remove the ARCH default... but I'm afraid it's the one used on One manager and not for the One node I'm running on the same host (which would be more something related to /var/tmp/one ?). Maybe the distinction should be clearer between /etc files for One manager and One nodes in the Debian packaging, but that's another story. I'll try again and report.

OK... well, my mistake. I probably had not restarted One, or some other mistake.
I can now see a FAILED VM whose logs indeed contain the expected "No ARCH defined and no default provided."
Sorry about the bothering.
