[ovirt-users] During Hosted Engine Deployment. CPU Type not listed as compatible. No selection to choose from.

[Langley, Robert]

Thank you, Simone.

I am sorry. I made a mistake with the CPU type. I got the references mixed up.
The one I'm having trouble with is the 2007 server with an Intel Xeon 5050 (Dell has it as a Dempsey in their hardware list for this server).
Virtualization Technology is Enabled in the BIOS and the BIOS is at the latest released version from 2013.

I am attaching the logs that were requested.

Hi Robert,
With that CPU you should be able to select 'Conroe'.

I think it depends on how VDSM and libvirt see the CPU  features.
Can you please attach hosted-engine-setup and vdsm logs?

In the mean time, can you please ensure that Virtualization Technology and  XD/NX bit are on in the BIOS?
