Or we could just fix the problem within OpenStack to report the correct Hypervisor in the first place. This kind of reminds me of a story. Someone was trying to drive down a path on his bicycle, but there were some tacks on the path. So his wheel kept on getting full of holes. So they thought

You could just ask for the value of virt_type parameter from a compute host (or the output of something like grep 'virt_type' /etc/nova/nova*) if you are using qemu or kvm. I believe that's how nova figures out what parameters to use when launching an instance. On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 8:39 AM,

In the next user survey - could we clarify that qemu == full software cpu emulation and kvm (qemu/kvm) = hardware accelerated virtualization or some similar phrasing. It's totally possible that people are like: I run both qemu and kvm (thinking that’s qemu/kvm) - when in fact they only run kvm

Does anyone see a good way to fix this to report KVM or QEMU/KVM ? I guess the worry is whether this would count as a bug fix or an incompatible change. Tim On 11/05/16 17:51, "Kashyap Chamarthy" wrote: >On Tue, May 03, 2016 at 02:27:00PM -0500, Sergio Cuellar Valdes
