You can check which families are supported by an oVirt Host via:virsh domcapabilities | xmllint --xpath '/domainCapabilities/cpu' - For the instruction set - it all depends on the app. Set your VM with the cluster's top notch CPU , run your app and note down the performance indicators. Once the test is over, shitdown the VM, set the CPU to host-passthrough and test again.

[ovirt-users] Re: pass-through CPU
Hi, Thanks for you reply. As far as we are concerned, we have two clusters with perfectly identical CPUs, respectively. Not the same family. I understand that a cluster will only allow CPUs of the same "family" but I never investigate that. Is there a CPU family <--> CPU name relationship somewhere ? That said, are those extra instructions only relevant to nested virtualization, or can they provide real performances improvement ? *Laurent Duparchy ESRF - The European Synchrotron MIS Unit 04 76 88 22 56* Strahil Nikolov wrote on 18/01/2023 18:08: If you have hosts with the exact same cpu, you can enable cpu passthrough and set the hosts from the "Specific Host(s)" section.
