}

The VM’s base chipset type, which determines the set of core devices (such as timers, interrupt controllers, and buses) that are present in the VM.

Variants

HypervGen1

Hyper-V generation 1 VM, with a PCAT firmware and PIIX4 chipset.

HypervGen2Uefi

Hyper-V generation 2 VM, with a UEFI firmware and no legacy devices.

HyperVGen2LinuxDirect

Hyper-V generation 2 VM, booting directly from Linux with no legacy devices.

HclHost

VM hosting an HCL (Underhill) instance, with no architectural devices at all.

The HCL will determine the actual devices presented to the guest OS; this VMM just needs to present the devices needed by the HCL.

UnenlightenedLinuxDirect

Unenlightened Linux VM, with a PCI bus and basic architectural devices.
