VT-X passthrough to VM?


Recommended Posts

I'm running an OSX VM on unRaid 6.3.3. I'm installing Docker for Mac but it won't let me start the software saying the CPU does not support virtualization. I've tried adding the boot flag for virtualisation on kvm_intel and adding the hyper-v into xml as suggested in this thread: 

 but it doesn't do anything. Hoping someone might have a clue?

IIRC from the video there is some code you have to add to user scripts, otherwise nested virtualization won't work on unRaid at all.

Tried the video but no luck. The machine was so close to perfect, apart from the slight annoyance with keyboard and mouse and chrome sometimes freezing but now can't run nested virtual machines.
