windows lab node: enabling intel-vt in bios

Post by ymeillier » Mon Jan 30, 2023 1:58 pm

Hi.

When a windows node is deployed, say windows 11 or windows server datacenter 2022, rebooting into the BIOS is not possible (from what i can tell)
Changing the qemu flag to '-cpu host' in the node options allowed me to specify a cpu architecture that supports virtualization but i can't figure out the flag needed to enable intel-vt for the cpu itself, something that is typically done in the bios.

Is it possible? Reason behind this is to use windows subsystem linux on a windows VM used as a tool VM.

thank you

ok. it was just an example for a windows node.
How about any other windows version then? say windows server datacenter 22 or 2k19?
