What do 'arch' and 'machine' in the config files of KVM guests signify?
-
The XML file of a RHEL guest OS shows "<type arch='x86_64' machine='rhel5.4.0'>hvm</type>" which sounds right, but the XML file of a Windows guest also shows the same.For a Windows guest OS, shouldn't the expected value of machine be "machine=win2003hvm" or something similar?
