Hello everybody,
I am a new user discovering libvirt with KVM software. During my first
VM creation, I saw an issue with virsh that I can't understand.
I wanted to emulate another CPU than the classical qemu32 using virsh.
So I used the virsh capabilites command to detect how is detected my CPU
host which is an Intel Xeon E5410 and my problem is that this CPU is
detected only with the cpumodel "pentium3".
But if use the kvm -cpu ? command, it returns me the following
capabilities :
$ kvm -cpu ?
x86 qemu64
x86 phenom
x86 core2duo
x86 kvm64
x86 qemu32
x86 coreduo
x86 486
x86 pentium
x86 pentium2
x86 pentium3
x86 athlon
x86 n270
Moreover, if i decide to use the pentium3 cpumodel for my KVM VM, the
CentOS freeze during its loading.
My libvirt and kvm are the following on a Debian Squeeeze :
$ virsh version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.3
Using library: libvir 0.8.3
Using API: QEMU 0.8.3
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.12.5
Does anybody already had the same issue or am I doing anything wrong ?
Thanks for your answers
Regards,
Olivier BONHOMME
