[Xen-users] Centos 5.5 Xen not showing vmx flag!!!

[Periko Support <pheriko.support@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi people.

Hope some could help answering this thread.

I have a new server supermicro X8DTE/X8DT6 with CPU Intel E5620 which Intel say that has support for virtualization.

The BIOS have this 2 options, just one was disable by default.

Intel Virtualization Tech Enable Yes.
North bridge Chipset -> Intel VT-d enable.

I have enable this 2 settings and follow the instructions to make this change available.

I
 have install Xen and reboot my server, I have been reading about Xen, 
normally went u have a server where u want to virtualize u want to have 
all the features available, well I try to see if my server have the right flags for the Intel 'vmx' but I don't see that flag:

This server have 24GB ram, now let me show u dmidecode:

Now, running dmidecode I have other info:
Processor Information
Socket Designation: CPU 2
Type: Central Processor
Family: Xeon
Manufacturer: Intel
ID: C2 06 02 00 FF FB EB BF
Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 44, Stepping 2
Flags:

VME (Virtual mode extension)
PAE (Physical address extension)

I just put here the part that took my attention.

Now let me show u hypervisor capabilities:

Quote:

cat /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities
xen-3.0-x86_64 xen-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64

This a new field for me, does this mean that my server have the capabilities but I cannot use them?

I a little confuse because I don't see the Quote:

vmx

 flag.

Thanks for your time.

P.S. Xen 3.0.3.x
