nested virtualisation

[gef0rce]

Hi I am running unraid 6.2.0-rc4 on the below specs

 

Model: Custom

M/B: Supermicro - X10SRA-F

CPU: Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz

HVM: Enabled

IOMMU: Enabled

 

I have a Windows 10 VM and in the Windows 10 VM I have installed vmware workstation 12. In VMware Workstation I built a Linux VM and this VM will be requiring Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT enabled for my purposes. I added the following lines to the .vmx file

 

vhv.Nested= "True"

vhv.enable = "TRUE"

hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"

 

Once I power on the VM vmware workstation reports that "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform".

 

This means that the Windows 10 VM does not support Hardware Virtualization (nested virtualization). How to verify if Intel VT-x is passed through to my Windows 10 VM?

Any help?

I've had a windows 10 install by default have the virtualization disabled in the feature list. One thing to check is that this is enabled. It sounds daft but it's worth checking

Hi bigjme

 

Are you referring to enabled it under the "Program and Features->Turn Windows Features on/off" section in windows?

I am indeed, sorry I didn't put the full location I'm writing on my mobile at the moment away from my pc

Do you basically want to do this: unRAID -> VM -> VM -> VM

 

And this VM wont start: unRAID -> VM -> VM -> VM?
