Re: [Libguestfs] Issue with libguestfs-test-tool on a guest hosted on VMWare ESXi
Thanks will write to VMWare forums.
Btw, is there a way I can change the qemu default machine type? I mean when
I specify *-machine pc *it picks up pc-i440fx-2.8 by default.
Or is it tied to the underlying host hardware?
*$> *qemu-system-x86_64* -machine help*
Supported machines are:
*pc* Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (alias of
pc-i440fx-2.8)
*pc-i440fx-2.8* Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (default)
pc-i440fx-2.7 Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
pc-i440fx-2.6 Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
pc-i440fx-2.5 Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
pc-i440fx-2.4 Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
pc-i440fx-2.3 Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
pc-i440fx-2.2 Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
*pc-i440fx-2.1* Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)

I don't know, but this is basically a bug in VMware, so you need
to ask them to fix their nested KVM-on-ESXi use case.
