can cloudstack kvm run inside a virtualbox guest?
The cloudstack installation instructions for kvm [1] state the following:
> Must support HVM (Intel-VT or AMD-V enabled)
Virtualbox guests don't have HVM.
Will Cloudstack installation work and be slow (falling back to qemu in
the case of Ubuntu), or will Cloudstack never work for KVM without
HVM?
Many thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Run this SQL command
INSERT INTO cloud.configuration (category, instance, component, name, value, description) VALUES ('Advanced', 'DEFAULT', 'management-server', 'xen.check.hvm', 'false', 'Shoud we allow only the XenServers support HVM');

Hi Tuna, what/where is the check that can be bypassed?

I don't know whether we can run instances on KVM host without HVM. But it's
very easy to bypass HVM checking in CloudStack. Honestly I think they wanna
keep that check. You can modify to use by yourself, no problem :-)

Thanks for the response Tuna.
Do you have any idea how much effort would be required for cloudstack
to support KVM without HVM (similar to the approach taken by openstack
[1])?

Chris,
AFAIK, CloudStack only works for KVM host with HVM supported.
