Hi ,
Created new thread .
Environment:
Bare Metal server + CentOs with qemu/KVM +libvirt for virtualization
Guest Instantiated with virt-install with forced CPU model like below
virt-install --virt-type kvm --name compute-0 --cpu Haswell,+fma,+movbe,+fsgsbase,+bmi1,+hle,+avx2,+smep,+bmi2,+erms,+invpcid,+rtm --ram=61440 --vcpus=20 --os-type=linux --os-variant=generic
After guest installation /proc/cpuinfo show model name as Haswell . However Libvirt virsh capabilities show CPU configuration as "SandyBridge . "
1. Could I get explanation of the why inconsistency .
2. Is this expected behaviour
3. Why libvirt does not show same CPU Model as /proc/cpuinfo for CPU Model info.
My Aim : Nested Virtualization and Nested Guest needs CPU model as Haswell strictly .
4. IS it possible alternative to succeed in my aim ?
Thanks a lot for support. !
