Hello, As part of my project for my MSc, I am looking for a solution to implement nested virtual machines. My current scenario is: - I have a server with AMD Phenom II X6 1100T and 8GB RAM - virtualization enabled at BIOS. - I have installed 64bit CentOS-5.6 with Xen enabled (let''s call it as base1). - On top of base1 I have also installed 64bit CentOS-5.6 (guest1) with Xen enabled and I would like to install Debian and WIndows XP on top of guest1, when I try to install using Virtual Machine Manager I am not able to see the ''Fully Virtualized'' option. Could you please suggest me how can I deploy nested virtual machines? Thank you. Best, Sat. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

For AMD, take a look at nested svm http://xen.markmail.org/search/?q=nested%20svm#query:nested%20svm+page:1+mid:z33lihxnbdjghua5+state:results For Intel, take a look at nested vmx I think the patches are only in xen-unstable at the moment and they are actively being tweaked and tested. If you try them out and have problems, post to the xen-devel mailing list (see also http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/AskingXenDevelQuestions) Thanks, Todd> Thank you. > Best, > Sat. > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >-- Todd Deshane http://www.linkedin.com/in/deshantm http://www.xen.org/products/cloudxen.html http://runningxen.com/ _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
