Issue #8210 has been updated by Gonzalo Servat.

Same problem here:

* RHEL 6.1 (64bit) with 2 vCPUs: model name is QEMU Virtual CPU, thus facter 
virtual == kvm
* CentOS 6.2 (64bit) with 1 vCPU: model name is QEMU Virtual CPU, thus facter 
virtual == kvm
* RHEL 5.7 (32bit)  with 2 vCPUs: model name is Pentium II (Klamath), thus 
facter virtual == physical

FWIW, virt-what reports "kvm" correctly on all 3 systems. Bit of an issue now 
as I was relying on the value of virtual for a few things. What's the plan of 
attack?

Bug #8210: virtual => physical for kvm guests
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8210

Author: Markus Falb
Status: Re-opened
Priority: Normal
Assignee: shubhra sinha varma
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.x
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 1.6.2


The Output from /proc/cpuinfo can not used reliable for telling that it is a 
kvm virtual machine.
On a CentOS 5.6 kvm Host with CentOS guests /proc/cpuinfo tells me:

for a smp guest
    model name  : QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.9.1

with only one cpu in the guest:
    model name  : Pentium II (Klamath)

but in both cases:
    $ dmidecode -t 4
    ...
    Manufacturer: QEMU
    ...

I believe it is possible to specify what cpu is used so on the commandline, so 
relying on the model name is not always working
