Facing problems installing KVM on RHEL6

linux-howto

http://www.unix.com – I am running RHEL 6 on VirualBox/VMWare VM and on that VM i am trying to create a KVM virtual machine. Issue is that command "egrep 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo doesn't show my any results, so that lets me think if my processor doesn't support Virtualization technology. But it does and i have configured Virtualization in BIOS also. I have 32 bit host and i have installed 64 bit guest RHEL on VirtualBox and that worked only when i enabled Virtualization and VTx in the BIOS. Disabling this in BIOS doesn't let me install any 64 bit guest in VirualBox. So does that mean VM is seeing the Virt (HowTos)

I have a Windows 7 64 bit and my CPU supports virtualization and I have enabled it. As a guest OS I have installed Ubuntu 64 Bit and I checked Hardware virtualization in VirtualBox but after running this command egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo it returns 0 meaning my hardware doesn't support virtualization. What can I do?

[ubuntu] install kvm 21 weeks 5 days ago

Hello everyone, I want to install kvm on my desktop PC to learn virtualization, my cpu is intel Core i3, and I found it support VT-x on intel's page, I also enabled virtualization in BIOS, however, I cann't find vmx flag from /proc/cpuinfo.

I have Gateway NE56R laptop with Intel B960 processor, which do not support virtualization. But I want to install x64 bit guest OS on VirtualBox, it gives me error. I have also used VMware workstation, Parallels workstation. My host OS is Ubuntu 12.10 x64 bit.

Please tell me, which virtual software I can use in this situation.

I have a list of servers that I need to know if its was running under virtualization and if yes, I need to know what software used (e.g. vmware, xen, kvm). My OS compose of Linux and Solaris

I'm new to virtualization. I also check network file and most of them use eth0. I also check /proc/cpuinfo but could not found a hint.

I'm using a RHEL 6.0 on a Virtual Box virtual machine

Hi, I am trying to test a board for virtualization with the 1G 82576 and 10G 82599 Ethernet controllers on board. The focus is purely to develop a test (like external loopback) to determine if all the virtual functions would work as expected when SR-IOV is enabled within the BIOS. I would not be running any Guest OS as part of this.

The board is running RedHat Linux Enterprise Server 5.3 (Kernel

I have been unable to create any type of Windows VM in Xen. Every time it tells me that the processor(s) in the machine do not support full virtualization. After some research, I found several articles regarding the vmx setting in /proc/cpuinfo not showing up when the xen kernel is booted versus it showing up in the default kernel.

Hi,

I just installed the Virtualization 'suite' and began to use Virtual Machine Manager.

Very interesting stuff, so I've got some questions :

- Shut Down / Force Off : Sometimes the guest OS hangs, so I I try to use the 'shut down' option, in 90% of the case it doesn't work. So after loosing patience I click on 'Force Off'.

Perhaps you need to update your BIOS to the latest available there or perhaps you don't have the processor you think you do? The notes in the manual next to that option say "Will be enabl... [by TrevorH]
