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.pdf>
A bit outdated, but yes, that's the general direction. Y.
Thanks

Hi all,
Can oVirt run on VM of VirtualBox or Guest of KVM/QEMU, just for testing ?
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
