<br>
Took me some time to find out. The kvm_amd modules was loaded
correctly, but I had to change one more thing on the virtual
machine:<br>
<br>
Edit Virtual Machine --> Host --> select "Pass-Through Host
CPU". Afterwards (nested) kvm was available on the virtual
machine.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
OK, it seems I am confused. Nested KVM is NOT the same as fake KVM....
If so, I installed vdsm-hook-nestedvt on the hypervisor (only). Trying
to run ovirt-Node on a VM it complains there 's no virtualization,
despite the kvm_amd module is loaded with nested=1
How to enable nested-kvm for oVirt 3.6?

<pre wrap="">
First, make sure that you're enabling the nested feature for amd (just
noticed that the example used intel). Please show us the output of
# cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
and sorry, did the same mistake again - use
# cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested
</pre>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">on the host (physical machine), lscpu inside the VM and VM XML - use
# virsh -r list
# virsh -r dumpxml {machine_id found in the list}
Thanks,

<pre wrap="">Hi all and happy new year!
I'm running oVirt 3.6 on EL7.
In order to test nested-kvm I installed vdsm-hook-nestedvt on the
hypervisor and put "fake_kvm_support = true" in /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf.
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
fake_kvm_support is just for developing purposes and it's not
needed as it
prevent guests to run.
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
Not really true - fake_kvm_support enables QEMU emulation instead of
hardware virtualization (e.g. VT-x) instructions. It is also quite
broken in it's current state and fix is pending in cpuinfo branch at
gerrit.
I don't really understand the reason why fake_kvm would be used in
this case as AMD-v is enabled according to svm flag present -
following instructions should be correct for getting the flag passed
to the VMs.

<pre wrap="">Please check to understand if nested support is enabled on your host:
/sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
if not
echo "options kvm-intel nested=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf

If you want also to use the network on your L2 guest please
install and
configure also macspoof vdsm hook on your physical hosts otherwise
all the

After removing the option all works well again, but I'ḿ lacking
the nested
