Hi all,
OK, it seems I am confused. Nested KVM is NOT the same as fake KVM....
If so, I installed vdsm-hook-nestedvt on the hypervisor (only). Trying
to run ovirt-Node on a VM it complains there 's no virtualization,
despite the kvm_amd module is loaded with nested=1
How to enable nested-kvm for oVirt 3.6?

Hi all and happy new year!
I'm running oVirt 3.6 on EL7.
In order to test nested-kvm I installed vdsm-hook-nestedvt on the
hypervisor and put "fake_kvm_support = true" in /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf.
fake_kvm_support is just for developing purposes and it's not needed
as it
prevent guests to run.
Not really true - fake_kvm_support enables QEMU emulation instead of
hardware virtualization (e.g. VT-x) instructions. It is also quite
broken in it's current state and fix is pending in cpuinfo branch at
gerrit.
I don't really understand the reason why fake_kvm would be used in
this case as AMD-v is enabled according to svm flag present -
following instructions should be correct for getting the flag passed
to the VMs.
Please check to understand if nested support is enabled on your host:
/sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
if not
echo "options kvm-intel nested=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf
and reload the module
Than install vdsm-hook-nestedvt on your hosts.
If you want also to use the network on your L2 guest please install
and
configure also macspoof vdsm hook on your physical hosts otherwise all
the
traffic to/from your L2 guests will be dropped.

However, afterwards the hypervisor host cannot connect to the ovirt
Manager, on ovirt Manager the engine.log will tell:

After removing the option all works well again, but I'ḿ lacking the
nested
kvm option :( Is nested kvm only supported on a limited cpu's??
