Hi,
I have an fc17 server with an Opteron 6128 with a few fc17/16 guests.
How can I be sure I'm best matching the guest CPU with that of the
server?
I've used virt-manager to create the guests, and it currently shows
the processor is a "Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core":
processor : 1
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 16
model : 2
model name : AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor
stepping : 3
microcode : 0x1000065
cpu MHz : 2000.138
cache size : 512 KB
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 5
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext
fxsr_opt pdpe1gb lm rep_good nopl extd_apicid pni cx16 popcnt
hypervisor lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse
3dnowprefetch npt
bogomips : 4000.27
TLB size : 1024 4K pages
clflush size : 64
cache_alignment : 64
address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
power management:
The guests seem to run very slowly, and just wondered if this may be
the cause. Can someone recommend some basic optimizations I may
already be missing from my guest config?
