I was playing around with ovirt-engine datacenter definitions and I seems that the capatibility version in the gui controls the qemu machine type specified (3.0 -> pc-0.14). I was wondering where that's configured setup.
I grepped through my deployed system and saw a hit here:
[root@f16-engine ovirt-engine]# rpm -qf /usr/share/ovirt-engine ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001-1.2.fc16.x86_64 [root@f16-engine ovirt-engine]# grep -nri "pc-0.14" * db-backups/tmprN1EDt.sql:12119:INSERT INTO vdc_options (option_id, option_name, option_value, version) VALUES (236, 'EmulatedMachine', 'pc-0.14', '3.0'); db-backups/tmpj4XRCI.sql:12138:INSERT INTO vdc_options (option_id, option_name, option_value, version) VALUES (236, 'EmulatedMachine', 'pc-0.14', '3.0'); dbscripts/upgrade/03_00_0530_update_EmulatedMachine_config_to_pc.sql:2:select

Is there any way to define different compatibiilty versions or edit that? If I've got a new end-point running qemu-kvm that doesn't have pc-0.14 defined (Say RHEL6.x) the machines won't lauch when you specific -M pc-0.14.
Thoughts?

Since the topic was brought up, I have a long going request that oVirt will enable users to run multiple machine type versions on the same host (using the same qemu binary but providing a different -M compatibility level per VM).
Is that on the roadmap?
I assume once will start with cluster level enumeration/monitoring first which is the bug which i asked to open around this thread. then look at per vm level (I'm guessing best way to make this easy to manage at per-vm level would be to use 'cluster default' for most vm's) I understand choosing cpu model per vm may (mainly for -cpu best) also be desirable in some cases.
