Virtualization: Check if hardware supports it or not

In this post we will see if our hardware supports Virtualization with KVM/VMware ESXi server or not.

Make sure that your system has the hardware virtualization extensions:
For Intel-based hosts, verify the CPU virtualization extension [vmx] are available using following command.

[root@server ~]# grep -e 'vmx' /proc/cpuinfo

For AMD-based hosts, verify the CPU virtualization extension [svm] are available.

[root@server ~]# grep -e 'SVM' /proc/cpuinfo




If there is no output make sure that virtualization extensions is enabled in BIOS. It may be like your hardware supports virtualization but it is disabled.

See my next for steps to install KVM....
