Nested OLVM 4.2 on virtualbox : Vms pausing upon deployment

BrokeDBAMay 17 2020 — edited Jul 9 2020

I installed

a hosted OLVM 4.2 on a #virtualbox vm (nested virtualization) which had #kvm configured & the result was not what I expected (see print screen) :

1- Previously qemu created vms are gone (crash)

2- New vms created through #Ovirt can't start

The old vms have all been created using virsh and qemu virtualization capability (as virtualbox does't support kvm type)

The new ones created by OLVM are kvm based and which may mean that #ovirt doesn't support qemu based vm provisioning.

I also had kcli installed before which worked well but can't authenticate anymore since #olvm has been configured.

Is there a way to integrate OLVM to an existing kvm host and keep its tools and vms functional or it's just impossible?

Actually my question is : Is OLVM supported on a nested environment (virtualbox with a nested kvm host ) at all?

If so, can you help ? Thanks. Here are some of the errors I had.

by the way I usually create vms using qcow2 image sources using virsh etc. but importing and ISO and even templates in the browser doesn't seem to work well neither .
