Hi,
I am confused by the behaviour of the CPU description in my VM. I have a host with an AMD
CPU with
SVM feature and I want to try nested virtualization on a Fedora22 guest. The host is
Fedora22 as well.
libvirtd (libvirt) 1.2.13.1
kernel 4.1.6-200.fc22.x86_64
1.
I tried 'custom' mode with model qemu64 with required feature 'SVM' but
'/proc/cpuinfo' in the guest
doesn't show SVM.
2.
However, if I forbid the SVM feature, the guest can't be created and libvirt complains
that the host CPU
has SVM.
3.
The only way to have SVM reported in '/proc/cpuinfo' inside the guest VM is using
'host-passthrough'
mode, but I want to avoid it to allow migration of the VM.
Is this an issue with AMD
This is part of the description of the guest:
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>vagrant-fedora-libvirt-nested_default</name>
<uuid>4a379890-b891-4971-aad6-12fad45eaebc</uuid>
<memory unit='KiB'>8388608</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>8388608</currentMemory>
<vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.3'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
<features>
<acpi/>
<apic/>
<pae/>
</features>
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
<model fallback='allow'>qemu64</model>
<feature policy='require' name='svm'/>
</cpu>
