Continuing my efforts to prepare for a Windows 7 KVM install, I've found that Win 7 (Home) won't talk multi-socket CPUs, it only wants multi-core CPUs, but experimenting with the Processor settings in virt-manager, if I tell it to copy my host cpu configuration, I wind up with a single processor inside the virtual machine.
If I disable that, and explicitly set the topology to 1 socket, 4 cores (which is what I have), I then get qemu errors about the host not having the required features rtm hle x2apic. So am I basically doomed to have a single CPU windows 7 virtual machine? (My host is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K which is, I believe, a Haswell chip). The Haswells are pretty darn new - what chips have the rtm, hle, and x2apic features qemu wants? _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
