[ovirt-users] Lower CPU for specific VMs

[Ian Fraser]

Hi,

How do I set the CPU for a particular VM to be a lower family than the cluster is set to?

The problem I am having is that In order to install a Windows 10 VM to run on my oVirt lab that uses Sandybridge CPUs I am having to change the cluster CPU family to Intel Westmere Family before I launch the Windows 10 VM otherwise it will throw a SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED. I then change the cluster's CPU family back and all is well, except I would rather not have to do that.

Seemingly a known problem: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/695c8997-52cf-4c30-a3f7-f26a40dc703a/failed-install-of-build-10041-in-the-kvm-virtual-machine-system-thread-exception-not-handled?forum=WinPreview2014Setup

Thanks for any assistance.

Ian
