When trying to launch a Centos6.5 VM (pulled from
ovirt-image-repository) onto a Westmere (Dell 6100)
host through oVirt, the following error occurs from
libvirt:

3312: warning : x86Decode:1517 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not 
allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used
3312: error : x86Decode:1573 : internal error: Cannot find suitable CPU 
model for given data
