#3962 closed defect (invalid)

Doesn't run in VT enabled and another product utilising VT

Reported by: Jessica Hamilton Owned by:

Description

I have VT bit enabled in my BIOS, and using another VM product which is making use of VT-x.

I have a VM configured in vbox. I have unchecked the Enable VT-x box so that it shouldn't try and make use of VT.

When I start the VM, it refuses to run.

The error is: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please close all other virtualization programs. (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).

This does not happen when VT is not enabled in the BIOS, and using another virtualisation product at the same time.

This is intentional and most certainly not a bug. This is just the way VT-x works.

Explained in the manual ('Software vs. hardware virtualization' section) as well.
