Hi David, Thanks for the response. I've already cross checked my BIOS setting and virtualization is enabled. the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo shows vmx flag, but it doesn't show smx flag. Is that has something to do with my issue? Thanks, kenden On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 8:23 PM, David M. Barlieb <DMB@integrichain.com>wrote:

I have a similar issue on Arch Linux. After connect to the hypervisor, virt-manager will report there is no hardware virtualization(i.e. kvm) detected. Howerver, after manually change the xml file from `type=qemu` to `type=kvm` and start the guest OS, virt-manager will correct display the "kvm hypervisor". Since virt-manger use virt-install internally, my problem is similar to you. On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 10:45 PM, Nitin Nikam <kendennit@gmail.com (mailto:kendennit@gmail.com)> wrote:

I did not start any VM. My intention is to check the virt-install command to make sure all packages and tools are in place. So basically, I expect the below output [root@localhost Packages]# virt-install ERROR --name is required --ram amount in MB is required --disk storage must be specified (override with --nodisks) An install method must be specified (--location URL, --cdrom CD/ISO, --pxe, --import, --boot hd|cdrom|...) [root@localhost Packages]# Instead I get error, "Host doesn't support any virtualizations options" Thx, kenden On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 8:26 PM, Lei Yang <clanherb@gmail.com> wrote:

I executed virt-install which confirmed my guess: virt-install which is used by virt-manager cannot detect kvm. Note that I am on Arch Linux so my error message is not exactly the same as you $ virt-install WARNING KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu' ERROR --name is required --ram amount in MB is required --disk storage must be specified (override with --nodisks) An install method must be specified (--location URL, --cdrom CD/ISO, --pxe, --import, --boot hd|cdrom|…) $ virt-install --version 0.600.0 $ ls /dev/kvm /dev/kvm $ lsmod | grep 'kvm*' kvm_intel 125294 0 kvm 339258 1 kvm_intel -- Lei Yang On 2012年1月12日Thursday at 下午11:04, kendennit wrote:

has anyone encountered similar issues while using libvirt tools? am I missing something w.r.t installation?
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks, kenden

Hi Lei, Which XML file are you referring to? I tried executed virt-install with parameter --virt-type=kvm. Still I get same error.. ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options
Thanks, kenden

I have a similar issue on Arch Linux. After connect to the hypervisor, virt-manager will report there is no
hardware virtualization(i.e. kvm) detected.
Howerver, after manually change the xml file from `type=qemu` to `type=kvm` and start the guest OS, virt-manager will correct display the "kvm hypervisor". Since virt-manger use virt-install internally, my problem is similar to you. On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 10:45 PM, Nitin Nikam <kendennit@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi All, I'm trying to install a VM on host OS (Redhat 6.1, KVM hypervisor). I've installed all the required RPMs for KVM and libvirt tools.
Here is the list of libvirt RPMs and KVM modules
kvm.ko kvm-intel.ko
libvirt-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-client-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-devel-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm
The definition XML used by libvirt to create VM. It is usually located at /etc/libvirt/qemu/$vm_name.xml Actually, I never used virt-install. Instead virt-manager is used to generate a definition XML, then I manually modify the domain type from qemu to KVM. However, this is a inconvenient workaround.
