kvm support in centos vm

Post by kiransharma755 » 2015/06/29 05:05:57

When I took the kvm based virtuatlisation training class, we installed the kvm on a vm. But when I tried to it on my laptop, it does not work. I do not remember what was the problem, as it was sometime ago, but the question I like to ask is this

egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

returns 0 but when I check my cpu support virtualisaton and it is checked in bios.

Not sure whether I did not understand or some setup in my linux vm is wrong. I would appreciate if anyone could guide me to right path.


Thanks
Kiran

The CentOS kernel doesn't support nested virtualisation.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

Do you know which distro support the nested virtualization?

I also tried in amazon ec2 running redhat 7 and it also gave same out put.
