Nested Virtualization
supports nested
virtualization. This feature enables the passthrough of
hardware virtualization functions to the guest VM. That means that
you can install a hypervisor, such as , Oracle VM
Server or KVM, on an guest. You can then create and
run VMs within the guest VM.
Hardware virtualization features not present on the host CPU will
not be exposed to the guest. In addition, some features such as
nested paging are not yet supported for passthrough to the guest.
You can enable the nested virtualization feature in one of the
following ways:
-
From , select the Enable
Nested VT-x/AMD-V check box on the
Processor tab. To disable the
feature, deselect the check box.
-
Use the --nested-hw-virt option of the VBoxManage
modifyvm command to enable or disable nested virtualization. See VBoxManage modifyvm.
