Where can I find the updated documentation to follow?  Thanks

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

A bit outdated, but yes, that's the general direction.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
