frevan Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I'm trying to run VMWare Workstation inside a VM that in turn runs in unRAID 6.2 beta 23. While I can run nested VMs, they run extremely slowly. As far as I can tell, this is because I've been unable to use hardware assisted virtualization ("Virtualize Intel VT-x" option in Workstation). When I enable the option, VMWare complains that this isn't available on the processor. How would I make sure this is available in the VM? I found some information here (hiding KVM from the VM, setting vmport to off, some other things) but none have worked so far. Link to comment
testdasi Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Why do you need to run VMWare under unRAID VM? I would have thought it's a lot easier to have another unRAID VM and simply RDP / VNC in. Link to comment
frevan Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 I have a bunch of Windows VMs that I currently use for testing our software. Moving them all to KVM would involve a bit of work (not too much I guess), but more importantly I'd have to reactivate Windows on all of them. Furthermore, I can easily run them on other (Windows) computers if need be, as long as I install VMWare Player on them. Link to comment
