I enabled nested virtualization via:
1) echo "options kvm-amd nested=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-amd.conf
2) modprobe -r kvm-amd
3) modprobe kvm-amd
After it I can see svm flag on vm cpu, but from some reason I still receive the same error
"No virtualization Hardware was detected", when try to deploy vm in engine as
host.
The same scenario for intel cpu's works fine and I can use nested virtualization:
1) echo "options kvm-intel nested=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf
2) modprobe -r kvm-amd
3) modprobe kvm-amd
So it looks like problem in host deploy with amd cpu maybe Alon Bar-Lev can help with it.
Also check your kernel it must be >= 3.10....

Subject: [ovirt-users] Nested KVM on AMD
Hi all,
For testing purposes I installed vdsm-hook-nestedvt:
rpm -qi vdsm-hook-nestedvt.noarch
Name : vdsm-hook-nestedvt Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 4.16.10 Vendor: (none)
Release : 8.gitc937927.el6 Build Date: ma 12 jan 2015 13:21:31 CET
Install Date: do 16 apr 2015 15:37:00 CEST Build Host: fc21-vm03.phx.ovirt.org
Group : Applications/System Source RPM: vdsm-4.16.10-8.gitc937927.el6.src.rpm

Summary : Nested Virtualization support for VDSM
Description :
If the nested virtualization is enabled in your kvm module
this hook will expose it to the guests.
Installation looks fine on the oVirt (AMD cpu) KVM-host:
[root@bigvirt ~]# cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested
1
and in oVirt manager "50_nestedvt" will show up in Host Hooks. However, trying
to install "oVirt Node Hypervisor 3.5" it will warn "No virtualization
Hardware was detected". Also, the svm flag is not shown on the guest machine.
Am I missing something? Why is nested kvm not working?

Hi all,
So, the kernel might be the problem, I'm running Centos6 using a
kernel 2.6:
[root@bigvirt qemu]# uname -r
2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64
It seems I need to upgrade first to Centos7
You could also use elrepo kernels and stay on Centos6 but with a much
newer kernel. Have been running those for quite a while and haven't had
any problems with it.
Regards,
Joop
