Find suitable CPU / CPU family
Hi all,
What is the easiest way to dertermine if a CPU is suitable in a RHEV-H host and what family it is?
Right now I try to figure out the family with values in /proc/cpuinfo and look them up in [1] / [2] (cpuid is not available on RHEV-H).
There must be an easier / better way to do this. Anyone?
Regards,

I'm not quite sure I follow. Are you looking for the CPU requirements as documented in the RHEV 3.1 Installation Guide? Are you looking for the command line check documented there to check whether virtualisation extensions are present and enabled?
# grep -E 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo | grep nx
Mapping model names to Intel product family names, well, I suspect that's a bit more complicated.
