Hi, Thanks for you reply. As far as we are concerned, we have two clusters with perfectly identical CPUs, respectively. Not the same family. I understand that a cluster will only allow CPUs of the  same "family" but I never  investigate that. Is there a  CPU family <--> CPU name relationship somewhere ? That said, are those extra instructions only relevant to nested virtualization, or can they provide real performances improvement ? *Laurent Duparchy ESRF - The European Synchrotron MIS Unit 04 76 88 22 56* Strahil Nikolov wrote on 18/01/2023 18:08:

If you have hosts with the exact  same cpu, you can enable cpu passthrough and set the hosts  from the "Specific Host(s)" section. Also you can set the migration mode to "Allow manual and automatic migration".

I guess you already noticed that VMs with CPU passthrough have access to more CPU instructions compared to the Virtualized one.

Hi,

What are the pro and cons of enabling pass-through CPU ?

It is a greyed option for a VM, unless specific host(s) is/are selected. That's the thing : it's possible to select all hosts..., so, it does not make difference w/ "Start on any host" option _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/H63YAWHIACRQ5K...
