hello ,
thanks for comments .
I tried now with force options for CPU flag which were not supported . Now the command with non fully supported CPU model gets executed , But i am surprised to see that still Guest cpu model is not changed and still same as host cpu model(SAndy Bridge)
Why don't i see the model as HAswell now , could you please comment.
Command used :
virt-install --virt-type kvm --name controller-0 --cpu Haswell-noTSX,+fma,+movbe,+fsgsbase,+bmi1,+avx2,+smep,+bmi2,+erms,+invpcid --ram=8120 --vcpus=4,sockets=1
Linux process for KVM :

Your qemu-kvm binary apparently doesn't know what Haswell-noTSX is and thus libvirt has to translate it to something QEMU understands. You can check supported CPU models with "/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -cpu ?" (make sure the question mark is not expanded by the shell). Jirka
