Hi Lucian,

Good day to you, and thank you for your reply.

From what I understand, once the hypervisor is managed by CloudStack (using
cloudstack-agent), we shouldn't use virt-manager to create VMs and all VMs
will have to be created through CloudStack, correct?

I read further and based on below documentation:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/695c8997-52cf-4c30-a3f7-f=
26a40dc703a/failed-install-of-build-10041-in-the-kvm-virtual-machine-system=
-thread-exception-not-handled?forum=3DWinPreview2014Setup

I am using Sandy Bridge CPU and based on the above, it seems that we can
resolve the problem by setting the CPU type as follows: 'core2duo'.

The question is how to change it through CloudStack, can I confirm that we
can do so by following the "Configure CPU model for KVM guest (Optional)"
instruction at below URL?

http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-installation/en/4.8/h=
ypervisor/kvm.html

Based on the above instruction, I would need to add some lines on
agent.properties file as follows:

=3D=3D=3D
guest.cpu.mode=3Dcustom
guest.cpu.model=3Dcore2duo
=3D=3D=3D

and then restart CloudStack agent for the changes to take affect. Is it
correct? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Looking forward to your reply, thank you.

Cheers.
