With the virt-install command, there is this --cpu host option, quoted "Expose the host CPUs configuration to the guest. This enables the guest to take advantage of many of the host CPUs features (better performance), but may cause issues if migrating the guest to a host without an identical CPU." The hardware in our office is quite uniform, so using the option is not an issue. We also must almost exclusively Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu). But I want to use cobbler/koan to do guest provisioning. Nevertheless, having read cobbler --help/man page, and koan --help/man page, I still can't figure out how to set this option in cobbler so that koan can extract it for a KVM guest. Any hints/tips are appreciated. I certainly can do a virsh dumpxml, undefine, edit, define sequence, even scripted. But that just smells so kludgy :-( Regards, -- Zack
