Description Evgheni Dereveanchin 2014-05-12 12:05:48 UTC

Description of problem:

There is no possibility to present CPU flags to VMs (specifically "hv_relaxed" which Windows 7/2012 VMs use to disable timers and thus avoid BSoD)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEV 3.3

Requested enhancement:
 Ability to pass hv_relaxed CPU flag to VM from the Administrator Portal in the VM settings page

Comment 2 Doron Fediuck 2014-05-13 05:22:33 UTC

RHEV supports qemu's flags passthrough using -cpu host, which
should resolve this issue.

Can you please verify using "Use Host CPU" in the host side-tab of
the edit VM dialog?

Comment 3 Evgheni Dereveanchin 2014-05-13 07:37:08 UTC

hv_relaxed is a virtual CPU flag, it is not present on the actual physical CPU. It is added just to "Enlighten" a Windoes VM that it is a guest. QEMU supports that flag since RHEL 6.4 as a result of BZ#801196.
