Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your quick response.
I removed unnecessary devices and changed pseries to pseries-2.8, now it works, following is the new script.
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 -name generic-ppc64le -S -machine pseries-2.8,accel=tcg,usb=off -m 2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 6c4818cf-6b8b-41b4-89ab-cf3b6f5d82d4 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-generic-ppc64le/monitor.sock,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -boot strict=on -device pci-ohci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -device ahci,id=sata0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -drive file=/home/vms/vdisks/ppc-ubuntu16.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -drive file=/root/data/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-ppc64el.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-sata0-0-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-cd,bus=sata0.0,drive=drive-sata0-0-0,id=sata0-0-0 -netdev tap,fd=23,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:d5:c3:f4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1 -device usb-kbd,id=input0 -device usb-mouse,id=input1 -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -device VGA,id=video0,vgamem_mb=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -msg timestamp=on
