xenserver installation
Hi,
while trying to install Xenserver i had this warning:
"The follwing problem(s) were found with your hardware:
Hardware virtualization assist support is not available on this system.
Either is is not present, or is disabled in the system's BIOS
This capability* is required to start Windows virtual machines.*
*You may continue with the installation, thought Xenserver might have
limited functionality until you have addressed these problems.*
*
*
*
*
*What are the limitations that i risk to have if i install Xenserver on
such a system?*
*
*
*Is there a possibility to turn on the virtualization on my system?*
*
*
*
*
*thanks*

CloudStack will not allow you to add Hosts which do not support Hardware Virtualisation. The SQL 'hack' I gave you lets you override this default behaviour for test environments, but obviously you should not do this in a production environment.

thanks.
but what do you mean with "you will not be able to use it with CloudStack by default."?

If the hardware you are using does not have VT-d support (check the BIOS), then you will be limited in what VMs you can run, and you will not be able to use it with CloudStack by default.
If this is a simple test rig, and you want to use this hardware, you will need to run the following SQL statement on your CloudStack MySQL Server to tell CloudStack to ignore the fact that your XenServer does not have HVM Support (due to lack of Hardware Virtualisation Support)
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');
