Navigate to BIOS Settings > CPU configuration. Enable Intel Virtualisation Technology [Intel VT-d] option Once the system has booted up, run
lscpu
or grep command to see if your virtualization support is enabled:lscpu | egrep Virtualization Virtualization: VT-x
This ensures VT-d is enabled
$ egrep -o '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo | sort | uniq vmx
- Ensure SRIOV-support for PCI in the BIOS is enabled. This can also be turned on in the BIOS settings during bootup time.
- In grub config [/etc/default/grub], add
