Virtualization Support

[Trevor]

What command can I execute to check if a RHEL system supports virtualization?

Sorry Architects (RHCAs), this one is only for the RHCSA and RHCE folks!!!

To check if your RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) system supports virtualization (i.e., if the CPU supports hardware virtualization like Intel VT-x or AMD-V), you can run the following command:

egrep -c  '(vmx|svm)'  /proc/cpuinfo

[vmx = Intel VT-x support    svm = AMD-V support]

Thanks

Hello Blue_bird,

You get the points!!!  Your command definitely provides the needed info.

Thanks Blue_bird!
