Hi Joop,

Thanks for your reply.

I am running on CentOS 7.  I installed vdsm-hook-nestedvt and restarted 
vdsmd on my host.  When I look on the "Host Hooks" tab of my Host's 
properties, I see the following:

before_vm_start     50_nestedvt

So it appears to have installed correctly.  I fired up my Server 2008R2 
guest and tried installing the Hyper-V role, but it still gives me  the 
message about needing a CPU that supports hardware virtualization 
enabled in the BIOS.

The CPU family I am using is SandyBridge, if that makes any difference.

Is there something else I need to enable?

Regards,

Alan
