=INVESTIGATION 1: CREATE REMAINING VIRTUAL MACHINES=
===Part 1: Configure VMware for Nested VMs & Install KVM Virtualization Application===
Although we are using VMware Workstation to run our c7host VM, we will now install and configure another virtualization package called KVM in order to install the remaining VMs for this course.
Since we are "nesting" VMs (i.e. running a VM inside another VM) we need to configure our c7host's Linux boot-up parameters in order to allow these VMs to run efficiently.
:'''Perform the following steps:'''
# Launch the '''VMware Workstation''' application.
# Select '''Open Virtual Machine''', and select the VM called '''c7host''' on your Solid State Drive.
# Launch your '''c7host''' machine, and login as as a regular user and open a shell terminal.
# Edit the file called: '''/boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg'''
# Search for the first occurrence of the Linux Kernel boot command.
# Insert the boot option: kvm-intel.nested=1 at the end of the Linux kernel boot options. See below for reference:
