Hello Xlord, The CPU does have VT support and I already have the nested KVM enabled. Checking the Linux Kernel release notes I saw that the nested kvm feature was implemented in 3.10 but he EPT support is in 3.12. So Centos 7's kernel which is 3.10 does have the EPT support? Is there a way to check that the EPT support is available in the kernel? Thank you, Laurentiu On Thu, Aug 4, 2016, 06:04 -=X.L.O.R.D=- <xlord.sl at gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Laurentiu, > > Please check below info since assume your CentOS7 box CPU processor > already VT supported in advance. > > 1) Checkpoint #1: Hardware and Kernel modules > > a. cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx > > b. cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested (if “N” then go to checkpoint #2) > > 2) Checkpoint #2: Assume your CentOS box support > > *a. **echo 'options kvm-intel nested=y' >> /etc/modprobe.d/*dist.conf > > b. modprobe kvm-intel > > 3) Checkpoint #3: Verification > > a.
