VirtualBox on Dedicated Windows server

Hello,

I have a virtual dedicated Windows server. I have enabled Hyper-V on this server. I did install Oracle VirtualBox and wanted to run Ubuntu as a virtual machine.
I get this error in VirtualBox:
WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is FALSE! Make sure you have enabled the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature. (VERR_NEM_NOT_AVAILABLE).
AMD-V is not available (VERR_SVM_NO_SVM).

Any idea? Or is it in general not possible to run VirtualBox on VDS?

Thanks and kind regards!

This will be nested virtualization. Usually the supported configuration is the same virtualizer in both stages.

Also, Virtualbox later than 6.0 requires VT-x/AMD-V/SVM. If Hyper-V does not pass AMD-V into its VMs, then you'd have to run 5.2.something. Then you'd get one-processor 32-bit VMs Windows 8.0 & earlier, probably some similar limits in Linux.
