Why is RHEV not recognizing Westmere family on my Dell R710 with BIOS 2.1.9?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Two Dell R710s with dual Intel Xeon X5650 (Westmere, 6 cores, 2.66 GHz). They both have RHEV-H installed (6.4 - 20130815.0.el6_4). On one, the processor reads Westmere family but on the other, it reads Nehalem family in the RHEV admin portal.

  • These are identical servers with identical processors and an identical version of RHEV-H installed.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.2
  • RHEV-H 6.4 - 20130815.0.el6_4
