[libvirt-users] dmesg shows Intel Virt., lsmod shows kvm_intel; "Host does not [have] virt. options"

Hello, I've tried over at IRC and it appears the solution to this problem may not be obvious. I'm working with a Centos7 box on HP ProLiant 380p hardware. The BIOS is a bit outdated, but both Intel Virtualization Options and VT-d are present and enabled in the firmware. Some relevant command outputs below: -bash-4.2$ dmesg | grep Virtualization [ 1.299295] DMAR: Intel(R) Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O -bash-4.2$ lsmod | grep kvm kvm_intel 174841 0 kvm 578518 1 kvm_intel irqbypass 13503 1 kvm sudo virt-install --virt-type kvm --name <my name> --memory 8192 --cdrom <my path>/CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1708.iso --disk size=4 --os-variant rhel7 ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options I don't see any options to increase the verbosity of virt-install. Any ideas?

Probably complaining that you're missing the QEMU binary at a guess, but also check that 'virt-host-validate qemu' doesn't report any fails when run as root.

Thank you. Yes, the immediate problem was that I was missing the qemu-kvm dependency. On Tue, Jul 10, 2018 at 11:09 AM Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com> wrote:
