I have VMware Pro and I just want to have a play around with oVirt. The installation was successful but when I go to the control panel and try to create a Hosted Engine it loads for a bit then says Hardware virtualization is not supported on this host!

I am running oVirt Node 4.3.8 and VMWare version 15.5.1

My VMware VM configuration is:

Memory: 4GB Cores: 2 Storage: 50GB Network: Bridged Connection

Images: Web Interface Error VMware VM Configuration

Thanks in advance

  • "Hardware virtualization is not supported on this host" Does your host machine support Hardware Virtualization? That is when I see this message.

  • Assuming you've enabled hardware virtualization on the host, you need to pass this through to the VM. Following a "how to run hyper-v" in VMware guide should get you want you need.

This may be due to virtualisation being disabled in the BIOS of the device.
I would first suggest checking by opening CMD and entering systeminfo
Once the results have been returned, check the bottom for "Hyper-V Requirements:", and confirm that next to Virtualisation Enabled In Firmware: it says Yes.

Should it say No, find your key to enter BIOS by searching "device model" + BIOS and shutdown your device.
Once booted into BIOS by pressing the BIOS key on startup, look around for any settings referring to virtualisation, e.g Intel Virtual Technology, AMD-V, Hyper-V or VT-X and enable them.

So all I had to do was, go into the setting of my VM in VMware and click on Settings and then click on Processors and under Virtualisation Engine, enable Virtualise Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI. Then it should work. Thanks for all your answers and comments but I found the answer a couple of days ago. Thanks again.
