Sorry I just hijacked that thread, I meant to change the subject before I sent! >>>>>> hi all, I have this nagging question I'm hoping someone could clear up for me. There is so much information and discussion out there regarding HVM, PVM and PVHVM it is hard to get any concrete understanding of what I'm actually using. I thought I understood that my KVM deployment on CentOS 7.2 was creating PVM VMs. Checking dmesg, lspci, lsmod of the running centos7 VMs all indications show the VMs are PVMs. But when I look at the XML of the VMs I see: <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-rhel7.0.0'>hvm</type> Does that <type>hvm</type> mean I am mistaken? Thanks <<<<<<
