Our system tests are using nested virtualization. [1] Here the relevant part : 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 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=y [1] http://ovirt-system-tests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/general/installat...
