In Openshift console> Virtualization perspective, a s390x based VM configuration CPU topology currently allows editing the thread to more than 1. But qemu-kvm for s390x doesn’t allow me to define threads other than 1 as designed. So till this UI issue is fixed, if anyone modifies thread value to 1, VM goes into crashloopbackoff with error “qemu-kvm: S390 does not support more than 1 threads.”
