Re: [Qemu-discuss] ERROR unsupported configuration: guest and host CPU are not

[akhilesh rawat]

hi,

To update this thread ,it looks the issue was with Virt-install not with KVM for supporting Cpu model.

As invoking the KVM commands directly there is no complain of CPU model.   Thanks for initial comment.

Hi ,

thanks for checking .

We i use below command
address@hidden qemu]# virt-install --virt-type kvm --name compute-2 --cpu Haswell-noTSX --ram=61440 --vcpus=20 --os-type=linux --os-variant=generic --disk compute2-disk0.qcow2,device=disk,bus=ide,size=300,sparse=true,format=qcow2 --pxe --network bridge=virbr0,model=e1000 --network bridge=virbr0,model=e1000 --network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio --network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio --graphics vnc,port=5906 --noautoconsole

So then point 1 is not relevant to my case .

point 3 is exactly i got and so i am using -noTsX  which have the error i raised .

Let me check on point 4 and see .

(top posting to keep thread consistent)

1. It looks like you are not invoking qemu directly (I don't think
  qemu uses the term 'domain' for a virtual machine).  Maybe your
  wrapper tool is refusing the request without even trying to pass
  it to qemu.  If that is the issue, you need to upgrade/fix that
  tool.

2. kvm works by putting your hardware CPU into a mode which can
  execute a virtual machine directly.  Thus the ability of kvm to
  emulate instruction behaviors different from the hardware CPU is
  limited to cases where the hardware CPU can be told to call back to
  kvm whenever a virtual machine tries to execute that instruction
  and/or query the CPUID instruction for its availability.  In
  contrast the (slower) basic qemu emulator may be able to emulate
  almost anything you can describe to it, although not every desired
  combination of host and guest instruction may have been included in
  the qemu source tree.

3. The suggestion to use a "-noTSX" variant of Haswell may indicate
  that the hardware CPU is deliberately refusing to let emulators such
  as kvm fake some of Intel's "secure execution/measured execution"
  features.  But maybe the error message is just including an
  irrelevant suggestion for your situation.

4. Large parts of kvm resides in the Linux kernel, not in the
  qemu-kvm package.  Maybe the kernel part of kvm is too old.

P.S.

lscpu provides less information than cat /proc/cpuinfo, but I think
there was enough information in this case.  For example, someone
who cares may be able to figure out if a Xeon(R) E5-2620 is a Haswell
or compatible chip.

    Hi ,

     I want to create VM with CPU type HAswell however unable to do so
    due to this error

    I manged to update my KVM  emulator to 2.6 from 1.5 but still I
    see face same error. Can i get help if i QEMU support same on my
    host CPU Arch .
