hi all,

I have this nagging question I'm hoping someone could clear up for me. Ther=
e is so much information and discussion out there regarding HVM, PVM and PV=
HVM it is hard to get any concrete understanding of what I'm actually using=
.

I thought I understood that my KVM deployment on CentOS 7.2 was creating PV=
M VMs.

Checking dmesg, lspci, lsmod of the running centos7 VMs all indications sho=
w the VMs are PVMs.

But when I look at the XML of the VMs I see: <type arch=3D'x86_64' machine=
=3D'pc-i440fx-rhel7.0.0'>hvm</type>

Does that <type>hvm</type> mean I am mistaken?

Thanks
