Description Ingo Steuwer

2016-04-13 08:26:58 CEST

A tester tried to use UVMM in an UCS instance running in Virtualbox. As we do not support nested virtualization this fails.

The main issue here is the error message. The tester reported that all he got was "unknown OS type: hvm".

We should have a more descriptive error message or, even better, refuse to install the hypervisor app in such an environment.
