Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-10.el7 Verified this bug with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-22.el7.x86_64 1.Enable nested via kvm.conf # cat /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf # Setting modprobe kvm_intel/kvm_amd nested = 1 # only enables Nested Virtualization until the next reboot or # module reload. Uncomment the option applicable # to your system below to enable the feature permanently. # # User changes in this file are preserved across upgrades. # # For Intel options kvm_intel nested=1 # # For AMD #options kvm_amd nested=1 2. reboot host 3. confirm nested if it is enabled # cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested Y For AMD machine. It is the same result with Intel machine. So, Base on this testing result. This bug is fixed.

Feature: (Description from Paolo) > After the "modprobe nested=1" it would be useful to explain that it only > enables nesting until next reboot. Enable it forever requires adding > something like > > options kvm_intel nested=1 > options kvm_amd nested=1 > > to /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf (can use one file for both Intel and AMD). > > We probably should distribute such a file (with the options commented > out) as part of the qemu-kvm package Benefit: Customers trying nested KVM (tech preview) will have an example of how to enable nested permanently.
