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 For more information please also have a look at <br>[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707523](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707523) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
