Hi, I'm trying to test Service Containers on a CSR1000v withing EVE-NG. When I try and an run a KVM machine within the CSR it complains that KVM is an unknown machine type:

#sho virtual-service
Virtual Service Global State and Virtualization Limits:

Infrastructure version : 1.7
Total virtual services installed : 2
Total virtual services activated : 0

Machine types supported : LXC
Machine types disabled : KVM

Sep 21 09:06:24.029: %VMAN-2-GENERAL_FAILURE: F0: vman: Virtual Service[SCDemoVM]::Activate::Internal error::Machine type 'kvm' is not supported

This usually means that nested VM isnt enabled but I have done this on my server. EVE is running on bare metal:
cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
Y

The CSR image is Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 16.05.01b

Anyone any ideas?

I guess some tuning in qemu option could help like add -cpu Nehalem

Hi thanks. Tried it but didn't work. I'm now trying '-cpu host' as this was required for an esxi vm running on EVE. Will report back.

That worked.
