Sorry, 1st sentence in description should state 'chapter 4' not 'chapter 3'.... cut-n-paste error... 3. (a) - I'm not sure what is meant by this. Should I remove the preceding path
the two times qemu-kvm is mentioned?
All command line examples with qemu-kvm should be:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm <blah>
3. (b)
-- I'm confused by your confusion -- what 2 output sections?
What I do mean in description is that anything in the list after
x86 cpu64-rhel6 QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64-rhel6)
is not supported.
3. (d) - I changed the two mentions of Conroe to Nehalem, is that all that
needs to be changed? Is the other information there correct for Nehalem, or if
not, what should it be?
thanks for the change; what other info are you referring to ???
3(e)
see bz 734595

Description of problem: SME review of chapter 3 found these errors and/or needed corrections: (1) 4.2 libvirt and libvirt tools (a) RHEV-M description Q: Should this really be described in this manual ? It is currently not available except on a Windows machine, and not available on a Linux machine until RHEV 3.0, which is post RHEL6.2 release. Suggestion: (i) Put a more generalized description of RHEV here. (ii) Ask Bhavna Sarathy & Andrew Cathrow (RHEL virt & RHEV product managers) what they want here, if anything. (2) 4.3.1 Virtualized and emulated devices (a) second paragraph, second sentence: "The emulated devices do not require a real hardware device to back them." *false*: emulated ide: better have block storage of some sort backing it : emulated 8139: better have a bridge to a network device : emulated clock: more-or-less correct, but derived from host clock Recommendation: remove this sentence. (b) 3rd paragraph, last sentence: "Any device, of the same type and recognized by the Linux kernel, may be used as the backing source device for the emulated drivers." Recommendation: after 'same type' add ' -- storage, network, keyboard, mouse -- ' to give reader a context for "type" (3) 4.3.4 Guest CPU models (a) correction: command line should be: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm .... most $PATH don't include /usr/libexec (b) the list of CPU models is incomplete. The list should be put in the Admin Guide, and not in the Getting Started Guide; -- so add a section to Admin Guide for the output, and provide a pointer to that Guide & section in 4.3.4 btw, here's the output from the command in RHEL6: x86 Opteron_G3 AMD Opteron 23xx (Gen 3 Class Opteron) x86 Opteron_G2 AMD Opteron 22xx (Gen 2 Class Opteron) x86 Opteron_G1 AMD Opteron 240 (Gen 1 Class Opteron) x86 Westmere Westmere E56xx/L56xx/X56xx (Nehalem-C) x86 Nehalem Intel Core i7 9xx (Nehalem Class Core i7) x86 Penryn Intel Core 2 Duo P9xxx (Penryn Class Core 2) x86 Conroe Intel Celeron_4x0 (Conroe/Merom Class Core 2) x86 cpu64-rhel5 QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64-rhel5) x86 cpu64-rhel6 QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64-rhel6) *NOTE: following is part of output and is *not* supported * So, the sentence stating 'A list of supported CPU models can be viewed with the qemu-kvm -cpu ?model command.' is *incorrrect*. The *above list*, which is a short form that the doc then proceeds to say is the supported list, is *correct*. x86 [n270] Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz x86 [athlon] QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.12.1 x86 [pentium3] x86 [pentium2] x86 [pentium] x86 [486] x86 [coreduo] Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2600 @ 2.16GHz x86 [qemu32] QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.12.1 x86 [kvm64] Common KVM processor x86 [core2duo] Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz x86 [phenom] AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor x86 [qemu64] QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.12.1 (c) After listing, it mentions /etc/qemu/target-<arch>.conf -- no such file exists on a RHEL6 machine; -- it is now located at /usr/share/qemu-kvm/cpu-model/cpu-x86_64.conf (d) Recommend not using the "Conroe" as our shining example... how about a Nehalem... (e) the enforce flag to -cpu should not be documented here; it should be documented in the upcoming qemu-kvm cmdline section.
