>It's a processor flag telling you that you have processor virtualization support
I just need to make sure that its enabled or not, by running this command in my dom0.
#grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo
It can be enabled somewhere in BIOS or if there is any other method please help me setting this flag for my intel xeon quad core processor.

Fasiha Ashraf

It's a processor flag telling you that you have processor virtualization support.

It only exists on real physical processors and does not exist on virtual cpus.

Hi,
I found a problem in my new xenkernel set-up while installing VM. both the virt types
paravirt and fullyvirt are disabled. Then i observe that command
#grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo
gives no output. Please help me enabling vmx in my intel xeon server. Or may be its a kernel level issue since i have a successfully running xen-FC8 setup with 10 vms on the same machine.
