Issue #8210 has been updated by Andrew Elwell.
> Most of linux guests would have lscpu (within util-linux) Sadly not for RHEL 5 clones (SL / centos / SLC) -- the util-linux bundled with these is too old # rpm -ql util-linux | grep cp # facter operatingsystemrelease 5.8 # rpm -q util-linux util-linux-2.13-0.59.el5.x86_64 compared to SL6: # rpm -qf `which lscpu` util-linux-ng-2.17.2-12.4.el6.x86_64 # facter operatingsystemrelease 6.2 ---------------------------------------- Bug #8210: virtual => physical for kvm guests https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8210#change-60899 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.
