Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V + VirtualBox
Posted: 11. Mar 2011, 20:03
Hello Forum,
I'm trying to get VirtualBox running on a machine which also runs Hyper-V. The system is:
DELL PowerEdge
2x Intel Xeon E5620
24 GB RAM
Virtualization Enabled in BIOS
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
VirtualBox 4.0.4r70112 (64 bit)
The problem: if DEP is enabled in the BIOS, VirtualBox will not allow me to have more than one processor. It also freezes the host computer when a virtual machine is launched -- no bluescreen, just freeze. If DEP is disabled, VirtualBox will allow me to select more than one processor and runs fine. However, Hyper-V requires DEP to be enabled in the BIOS, or else it won't load.
Questions: can Hyper-V and VirtualBox coexist on the same machine? If it is possible, what changes or what settings are required to run both of them. Does it even make sense to run them both, or should I just run all my VB machines in Hyper-V.
Regards, Alex
