Disabling Virtual Machine Hardware-Assisted Virtualization

 

Single VM

By default, hardware-assisted virtualization is enabled in Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 if the feature is supported by the physical server. Using the Virtual Server Administration Website, you can disable this feature only for a single virtual machine at a time by configuring the Enable Hardware-Assisted Virtualization If Available option on the virtual machine configuration page.

Mulitple VMs

If you need to disable hardware-assisted virtualization for all virtual machines at once, you can modify the Options.xml file. To accomplish this, the value of the enable_hw_assist key in the Options.xml file must be set to false, as shown in the following example.

<preferences>

<virtual_server>

<hw_assist>

<enable_hw_assist type="boolean">false</enable_hw_assist>

</hw_assist>

</virtual_server>

</preferences>
