Try "xm dmesg|grep VMX". If grep finds "(XEN) VMXON is done",it's VT enabled.

Thanks

Subject: [Xen-users] Check if VT is enabled

Hello group,

I recently purchased an HP m7360n computer which has an Intel Pentium D 920 
processor in it. Unfortunately there is no BIOS option to enable or disable 
VT.  The board it sits on uses the Intel 945P chipset. 

If I am in linux and do a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' I get this:
[root@localhost ia32]# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 6
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz
stepping        : 2
cpu MHz         : 2800.956
cache size      : 2048 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : yes
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes 
cpuid level     : 6
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush 
dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl

dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl 
vmx cid cx16 xtpr lahf_lm
bogomips        : 7006.67

Notice that it detects vmx, which is Intel's VT.

My question is: Is there any way to tell if xen is using VT or to see if it is 
even accessible?  I really would like to get xen working in one way or another 
and would much like to use VT with it. 

Thanks,
Dan
