Hello,
Currently I'm building a new homelab based on omnios.
There a kvm enabled zone is created and inside the zone I have 3 kvm-guests running. These guests are running oracle vm (xen based). All is running fine except if I want to start an vm inside oracle vm, the system complains about:
Error: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-V supported by your CPU and enabled in your BIOS?
[...]
So it looks to me that the bios the kvm is using ( which appears to be SeaBIOS (version 0.6.1.2-20110201_165504-titi) ) is not enabling the nested virtualisation by default. Is this correct?
How can I fix this?
SeaBIOS doesn't control this. Instead, this is something that QEMU/KVM does the setup for. You can look through the QEMU documentation for the appropriate flags (and minimum software versions) or ask on the QEMU/KVM mailing lists.
