ESXi5.1 nested KVM Virtualization Environment Support configuration

VMware esxi5.x does not support nested virtualization by default and requires modification of the configuration to support it, and VMware intentionally records only the VMware ESXi5.1 nested KVM virtualization environment.
After this mode is opened, KVM/HYPER-V/ESXI support.

1, ESXi5.1 host open ssh, modify the VMware ESXi configuration file so that nested virtualization.

Open SSH, default is not open.

After the configuration file, add the following configuration:vhv.enable = "TRUE" and then restart ESXi, this process must be.

2. Upgrading the virtual machine hardware configuration is actually upgrading the virtual machine to the 9 version.

Shutdown state operation: In fact, modify the configuration file Virtualhw.version = "9" To change 8 to 9.

3. VMware ESXi supports the CPU virtualization configuration, which must be in the Vcenter server environment and configured under the Web client, as follows. 650) this.width=650; "style=" border-bottom:0px;border-left:0px;border-top:0px;border-right:0px; "title=" image " Border= "0" alt= "image" Src= "http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/57/04/wKiom1SO7PaxaJ-OAAHt_gveX9Q354.jpg" height= "491" />

Hardware virtualization is supported when the configuration is complete.

4. KVM Pre-Installation CPU virtualization support conditions

# egrep ‘(vmx|svm)‘--color=always /proc/cpuinfo

5. Summary Notes

By contrast, the above virtual machine configuration file is added and modified as follows.

If the first step is added to the following line, after the restart:

# Vi/etc/vmawe/config

vhv.enable = "TRUE"

The following can be modified to increase the configuration implementation, no need to install Vcenter server, Web client and other operations.

Virtualhw.version = "9"
Guestos = "Vmkernel5"
Monitor.virtual_mmu = "Automatic"
Monitor.virtual_exec = "Automatic"
vhv.enable = "TRUE"
