Hello,

I'm having a problem installing EVE-ng on Sangfor HCI, I already did the requirements like turning on the virtualization in bios and use cpu from host but still it says this error

HiHi,

Nested virtualization support is crucial for installing EVE-NG on an HCI platform. However, Sangfor HCI does not officially endorse nested virtualization. Therefore, running a virtual machine within another VM on Sangfor HCI is not supported and may lead to errors such as "neither Intel VT-x nor AMD-V found."

Please find the identical issue below:

Try this

To run EVE-NG properly, you need to enable nested virtualization on the VM in Sangfor HCI.

  • Check VM CPU Settings

      Make sure you selected Passthrough (host CPU), not a generic virtual CPU type.
      Some Sangfor versions list it as “CPU Passthrough / Expose hardware virtualization to guest”.

  • Enable Nested Virtualization

      In Sangfor HCI (which is KVM-based under the hood), you usually need to run a command on the host node:

      modprobe kvm_intel nested=1 echo 1 > /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
      (For AMD CPUs, use kvm_amd instead of kvm_intel.)
      This exposes Intel VT-x / AMD-V to guest VMs.

  • Verify if Nested Virtualization is On
    Run inside the EVE-NG VM:

    egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

      If it returns 0 > not enabled.
      If it returns ≥1 > enabled.

  • Reboot the VM and try again. EVE-NG should now detect virtualization extensions.
