7 <p>Oracle Solaris kernel zones on x86-based systems make use of hardware-assisted virtualization features like <ph
8 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> does. However, for kernel zones and <ph
9 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> to share this hardware resource, they need to cooperate. </p>
10 <p>By default, due to performance reasons, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> acquires the
11 hardware-assisted virtualization resource (VT-x/AMD-V) globally on the host machine and uses it until the last <ph
12 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> VM that requires it is powered off. This prevents other
13 software from using VT-x/AMD-V during the time <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> has taken
14 control of it. </p>
15 <p><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> can be instructed to relinquish use of hardware-assisted
16 virtualization features when not executing guest code, thereby allowing kernel zones to make use of them. To do
17 this, shutdown all <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> VMs and execute the following command: </p>
18 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setproperty hwvirtexclusive off</pre>
19 <p>This command needs to be executed only once as the setting is stored as part of the global <ph
20 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> settings which will continue to persist across host-reboots
21 and <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> upgrades. </p>
