[Spacewalk-list] No hardware acceleration for virtualized guests

[Simon Coy]

Hi,

 

I don't think any virtualized guests on RHEL/CentOS 6 are being hardware
accelerated anymore.  After provisioning a virtual guest using a kickstart
profile with Virtualization Type = "KVM Virtualized Guest", virt-install on
the host system always runs with option -virt-type=qemu.  This has the
effect that by default, libvirt will now run the guest without hardware
acceleration.

 

Is there a way on RHEL/CentOS 6 to enable KVM support by passing through
virt-type=kvm instead?  I have tried manually setting the virt-type in
cobbler but this doesn't seem to affect the task being pulled by rhn_check.

 

I think this looks like a bug now that libvirt has changed its default
behaviour.

 

Simon
