Trying to add IBM System X3650 3M RHEV-H to RHEVM Westmere cluster fails with the error: CPU_TYPE_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_CLUSTER

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Seeing "Host moved to Non-Operational state as host does not meet the cluster's minimum CPU level. Missing CPU features : aes, model_Westmere" in rhevm event log when trying to add host to RHEV cluster.

According to the Intel Product information, the model number (44 / 0x2C) and Intel Architecture and Processor Identification With CPUID Model and Family Numbers it should be Westmere.

But RHEV-M thinks it should be a Nehalem:
