Description Sinan Polat 2022-09-10 06:19:28 UTC
Description of problem:

Documentation of "Checking if nested virtualization is supported" at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/using-nested-virtualization-in-kvm/ is incorrect.

It states when file /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested is N or 0, nested virtualization is not supported. This is incorrect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check if nested virtualization is enabled:
[root@server ~]# cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
N
[root@server ~]#

2. Unload the module:
[root@server ~]# modprobe -r kvm_intel
[root@server ~]#

3. Reload the module with nested virtualization enabled:
[root@server ~]# modprobe kvm_intel nested=1
[root@server ~]#

4. Check if nested virtualization is enabled:
[root@server ~]# cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
Y
[root@server ~]#

Actual results:


Expected results:

That's literally written below in the docs. Maybe it's misleading wording?
Can you make a suggestion in a PR in https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/quick-docs ?
Thanks
