Hi
Please consider adding machine type to the OS section of the machine
definition file for kvmShank
For example, in my template definition I have
OS=[BOOT="hd",ARCH="x86_64"]
But I should be able to use, currently machine is ignored.
OS=[BOOT="hd",MACHINE="q35",ARCH="x86_64"]
Qemu is currently adding a new machine type to the list, the ICH9 chipset,
the ubuntu 13.04 qemu comes withnone empty machine

In the meantime this can be easily achieved with the RAW attribute.

I patch opennebula-4.4.0/src/vmm/LibVirtDriverKVM.cc for support MACHINE parameter (in attachment). You can download binary rpm for CentOS 6.4 with this patch from the https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2296931/rpm/opennebula-server-4.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm
But look like libvirt not support q35 pc type.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-February/msg00431.html
"libvirt's address assignment code is basically
already broken for anything which isn't a x86 system with PIIX
controller. eg address assignment for QEMU ARM / PPC / etc is
mostly fubar. Regardless of what Q35 involves, libvirt needs to
sort out the existing mess it has in this area. Sorting this
should then make support for Q35 more or less trivial, since all
the hardwork will have been done."

That's a nice feature! I just had some vm migration problems because of it and forgetting to put it in the RAW attribute.
Maybe it is too much but an input field for it in Sunstone with a nice hover/popup help (incl. example values and a rather safe minimal value or so) would be a nice thing too. :-)
