Hey guys,

Following to my previews question, i found out , using your help, that there is a new patch that solves the problem of live migrating an instance, between two compute hosts with different CPU models. (see my question: error when live migrating. computes node with different CPUs

now there is a patch that solves the issue: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/1619... https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/...

patches are needed on files test_driver.py and driver.py, my question is, how to install those patches on juno? our system was installed using the manual installation guide: http://docs.openstack.org/juno/instal...

first, i tried to just replace the .py files with the ones that in the patch. on locations: nova/tests/virt/libvirt/test_driver.py & nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py

but then, when trying to restart the nova-compute service, i get the following errors:

I will appreciate your assist. Thanks in advanced, Alon
