Hi, I guess this is the wrong approach: Libvirt does manage cpu type in an xml file, you would have to alter this xml file: /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml HTH PS: Maybe add an feature request upstream to enable this for all libvirt users? I have seen this request quite some time on different mailing lists.
