How to run Qemu KVM on ESXi Last week I was asked whether ESXi could run the KVM hypervisor as a Virtual Machine often referred to as Nested Virtualization. I personally have not used KVM before or run it on top of ESXi, but I have heard of many folks successfully virtualizing KVM as a Virtual Machine on top of ESXi. I figure since I have already written several articles on Nesting VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper V and Xen on top of ESXi, I might as well also take a look at KVM Disclaimer Nested Virtualization is not supported by VMware, please use at your own risk. As mentioned already, I have not used KVM before and one thing I wanted to understand before trying to run it as a Virtual Machine is what the difference is between Qemu and KVM as I have heard both these terms used in conjunction before. I found this post to be quite helpful in helping me understand the differences between Qemu, KQemu and KVM.

To be able to run either Qemu or KVM on top of ESXi, you just need to create a Virtual Machine running Virtual Hardware 1. VHV Hardware Assisted Virtualization feature which available in the v. Sphere Web Client as seen in the screenshot below To validate that you have properly enable VHV, you run the following command egrep vmxsvm proccpuinfo. You should see some output when running the command, else it was not properly enabled as seen in the screenshot below Another command you can also run to check if the VM has been properly configure is the following kvm ok. You should also see a message stating that KVM acceleration is possible InstallingRunning Qemu on Ubuntu VMStep 1 Install Qemu by running the following command sudo apt get y install qemu.

Step 8 Before we can create our VM, we will need to create the Image file by running the following command qemu img create f qcow. GStep 9 We are now ready to initialize and boot up our VM by running the following command virsh connect qemu system create alice. Step 1. 0 We can get information about the VM we just created by running the following command virsh connect qemu system dominfo alice. Step 1. 1 Lastly, we can connect to the VM console using a VNC client and if you modified the XML definition of the VM to listen on the public address of your Ubuntu host VM, then you should be able to see the installer of ISO bootup in my case, its Ubuntu Desktop Edition as seen in the screenshot below Note The instructions have been modified from this site here http xmodulo.
