IIRC this simply reports what cpu type the cluster is set to that the host is 
in. Looked up the Xeons you mention, and as far as I can tell that is a 
haswell no-TSX cpu. Simply select the cluster this host is in and switch the 
cpu type to haswell no-TSX. You should be able to deploy your VM then.
