- Guest CPU models + CPU models + CPU models define which host CPU features are available to + the guest operating system. qemu-kvm + and libvirt contain definitions for a + number of current processor models, allowing users to enable + features that are available only in newer CPU models. + The CPU feature set available to guests depends on + support in the host CPU kernel. The qemu-kvm + code must also allow the feature to be enabled. + + + To safely migrate virtual machines between hosts with different CPU + feature sets, qemu-kvm does not expose all CPU features + from the host CPU to guest operating systems by default. Instead, CPU features are + exposed to virtual machines based on the chosen CPU model. + + + It is also possible to enable or disable specific CPU features in a virtual machine's + XML configuration. However, it is safer to use predefined CPU models, as incorrect + configuration can cause compatibility issues with the guest operating system. + + + - For more information on guest CPU models, refer to the Fedora Virtualization Deployment Guide. + For more information on CPU model availability and configuration, refer + to the Fedora Virtualization Deployment and Administration Guide. - --> - +
