[ovirt-users] Hyper-V in a guest

Hello,

I am running oVirt 3.5.3.1.  I am trying to setup a virtual lab to  
emulate a client's environment to do some testing.  They are running a  
Hyper-V environment.

I created a Microsoft Server 2008R2 guest.  When I tried to install  
the Hyper-V role, the system said that I needed to have hardware  
virtualization support enabled in the BIOS.

I came across some posts about enabling "Hyper-V enlightenment" in KVM, but:

   1.) I am not sure this is what I am actually looking ofr.  It looks  
like it is to make some Windows guests perform a bit better (as if  
they were in a Hyper-V environment); and
   2.) Assuming this is what I am looking for, I am not sure how to  
enable it in oVirt (I saw that there were a couple of patches to  
support it in oVirt 3.5).  I am not seeing anything in the GUI.  Is  
this something that would need to be edited on the CLI?  If so, how?   
if ti can be enabled for a guest in the GUI (via it's "Edit"  
settings?), where do I do so?

Thanks! :-)
