Parallel operation of VB and Hyper-V

Post by albizia »

Hello,

does anybody knows wether it is posible to operate both Virtualizer on one MS Server 2008-x64-maschine in a way so that VB can still use VT-x?

I made the experience that after installation of the hyper-V role VB has no more access to VT-x. I fear that the Hyper-V-Hypervisor gets this exclusively and in this case I can forget a parallel operation.

But is it posible to deactivate the Hyper-V-Hypervisor without installation so that I can switch at least betwen both?

Has anybody made any experience? Thanks!

Only one hypervisor can use vt-x at a time.
