How to enable nested virtualization on a physical server?


Asked by Tanner Costa on Dec 08, 2021 FAQ



While the virtual machine is in the OFF state, run the following command on the physical Hyper-V host. This enables nested virtualization for the virtual machine. Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true Start the virtual machine. Install Hyper-V within the virtual machine, just like you would for a physical server.
Next,
Log in or connect to Windows Server 2019 where you installed Hyper-V role Open Hyper-V Manager Navigate to the VM where you want to enable nested virtualization. ... Shutdown the VM Right click on the Start Menu and then click on Windows Powershell (Admin) More items...
Furthermore, NOTE:Bear in mind that the virtual machine must be shutdown in order to enable Nested Virtualization support. To enable Hyper-V support in Parallels Desktop Pro and Business Edition: Go to Actions menu > Configure > Hardware > CPU&Memory. Expand "Advanced Settings" and tick Enable Nested Virtualization checkbox.
In addition,
With System Center - Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 1801 and later, you can enable and disable the nested virtualization feature through VMM console. You can configure the nested Virtual Machine (VM) as a host in VMM and perform host operations from VMM, on this VM. For example, VMM dynamic optimization will consider a nested VM host for placement.
Besides,
You can enable nested in kvm and have osx and windows 10 SMS with pic box pass through which is almost natively Experiance. However you need two graphics cards. 1 for linux and 1 for your vm. This would be very useful to have, that way I don't have to have two separate Linux VMs (WSL2 + my GNS3 VM).
