Make sure your laptop or test server has the folllowing setup:
-
*Virtualization and nested virtualization support*
Make sure that virtualization extension is enabled on the CPU,
otherwise, you might need to enable it in the BIOS. Generally, if
virtualization extension is disabled, dmesg log would contain a line
similar to: kvm: disabled by BIOS
*NOTE*: you can wait until everyithing is setup to reboot and change the
bios, to make sure that everyithing will persist after reboot
-
*Verify nested virtualization is enabled* $ cat
/sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested This command should print Y if
nested virtualization is enabled, otherwise, enable it the following way:
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf and add the following line: options
kvm-intel nested=yReboot, and make sure nested virtualization is enabled.
-
*Setting up libvirt*
Make sure libvirt is configured to run: $ systemctl enable libvirtd $
systemctl start libvirtd

Hi YK,
Thanks for your advice.
I shall install oVirt on Fedora, the host, which is running on KVM as
guest. Whether I need to install following packages;
vdsm-hook-macspoof
vdsm-hook-nestedvt
on Fedora first before installing oVirt?
Whether following document is relevent for me to follow?
Deploy and test oVirt using nested
virtualization environments
http://resources.ovirt.org/ old-site-files/wiki/OVirt-
nested-virt-markwu.pdf
<http://resources.ovirt.org/old-site-files/wiki/OVirt-nested-virt-markwu.p...
A bit outdated, but yes, that's the general direction.
Y.
Thanks

Hi all,

Yes, you can. You need to enable nested virtualization.
Y.
I have been running both VirtualBox and KVM/QEMU for prolonged time. I
never tried oVirt before. Now I'm prepared testing oVirt but I have only 2
PCs, one running KVM/QEMU and another VirtualBox. If I can't install oVirt
on VM of VirtualBox nor on Guest of KVM/QEMU then I have to get a new HD
for testing oVirt?
Please advise. Thanks
Regards
SL
