Environment: Bare Metal server + CentOs with qemu/KVM +libvirt for virtualization Guest Instantiated with virt-install with forced CPU model like below virt-install --virt-type kvm --name compute-0 --cpu Haswell,+fma,+movbe,+fsgsbase,+bmi1,+hle,+avx2,+smep,+bmi2,+erms,+invpcid,+rtm --ram=61440 --vcpus=20 --os-type=linux --os-variant=generic After guest installation /proc/cpuinfo show model name as Haswell . However Libvirt virsh capabilities show CPU configuration as "SandyBridge . " </blockquote> You are running the 'virsh capablities' in the guest as well, right? Make sure you have same versions of libvirt in the guest and the host so that they have the same CPU specifications<div><div class="h5"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> 1. Could I get explanation of the why inconsistency . 2. Is this expected behaviour 3. Why libvirt does not show same CPU Model as /proc/cpuinfo for CPU Model info.
