Virt-Enabler

Introduction

Virt-Enabler is a simple script for enabling nested virtualization in VirtualBox on Windows systems. It is planned to extend support to Linux systems in the future.

Purpose

In VirtualBox, the option for nested virtualization (AMD-V) is sometimes grayed out, preventing users from enabling it. Virt-Enabler provides a basic solution to this issue by modifying VirtualBox's VM configurations to enable nested virtualization.

Usage

  1. Run the virt-enabler.bat script.
  2. Enter a keyword to search for in the virtual machine names.
  3. virt-enabler will search for the virtual machine with the specified keyword and prompt you for confirmation before making modifications.
  4. If confirmed, virt-enabler will modify the virtual machine configuration to enable nested virtualization and set video memory to 256 MB.

Planned Features

  • Extend support to Linux systems.
  • Improve error handling and user feedback.
  • Provide options for customizing nested virtualization settings.
