The first block (in red) indicates the host hardware capabilities, currently -it is limited to the CPU properties and the power management features of -the host platform, but other information may be available, it shows the CPU architecture, -topology, model name, and additional features which are not included in the model but the -CPU provides them. Features of the chip are shown within the feature block (the block is -similar to what you will find in a Xen fully virtualized domain description). Further, -the power management features supported by the host are shown, such as Suspend-to-RAM (S3) -and Suspend-to-Disk (S4). In case the query for power management features succeeded but the -host does not support any such feature, then an empty <power_management/> -tag will be shown. Otherwise, if the query itself failed, no such tag will -be displayed (i.e., there will not be any power_management block or empty tag in the XML).

-

The second block (in blue) indicates the paravirtualization support of the -Xen support, you will see the os_type of xen to indicate a paravirtual -kernel, then architecture information and potential features.

-

The third block (in green) gives similar information but when running a -32 bit OS fully virtualized with Xen using the hvm support.

-

This section is likely to be updated and augmented in the future, see the -discussion which led to the capabilities format in the mailing-list -archives.
