RE: [Xen-users] Need of Intel VT for Xen

[Matej Zary <zary@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have the same CPU in "my" laptop and yes, it doesn't have hardware 
virtualization functions. Xen can be run without VT, but the virtual machines 
(DomUs) are limited to PV type (paravirtualised) - you can't run HVM virtual 
machines (Windows etc.) in Xen without hardware virtualisation support. If you 
need virtualised Windows for example, you can use VirtualBox on these CPUs. 
Hope it helped a bit. 


Regards

Matej

Subject: [Xen-users] Need of Intel VT for Xen

Hi,

I'm new to Xen. I'm trying to install Xen on my laptop which has an Intel T5750 
Core 2 Duo Mobile processor. I've heard that Xen does not work without Intel VT 
support (T5750 does not have that - http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=33915).

I tried xen on Ubuntu (desktop) 9.1 and the xend couldn't be started. I figured 
it was something wrong with Ubuntu and going to try Xen on Debian 5. 

Can I run Xen without VT support?

I can't get any meaningful result in google :( 

Thank You.
