[OpenIndiana-discuss] KVM with Xeon processor

["Weiergräber, Oliver H."]

Hello,

as implemented in OpenIndiana, KVM is said to require EPT, which is available in Intel's Nehalem-based CPUs.
My xw8600 workstation has Xeon E5440 processors which are not Nehalem-based but, according to Intel documentation
http://ark.intel.com/products/33082/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5440-(12M-Cache-2_83-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB)
also feature EPT support!
So is there a chance that this processor will work with OI KVM as well?
Or does it definitely require a Nehalem?

Oliver
