Looking for a free or affordable hypervisor that works with nested Hyper-V, PCIe passthrough without UEFI. The server is an HP DL380G7 and supports VT-d and ePTF. I've tried Unraid and Proxmox, but they don't meet all the requirements. Someone might have better options.

I've used PCI-E passthrough with this setup: https://virt-manager.org. I'm unsure if it supports all the other features. I recall it was on a system without UEFI. It's also less streamlined compared to tools like Unraid, which runs on a standard Linux distribution.

Virt-mangaer functions as a graphical interface built on top of a hypervisor such as KVM or Xen. It serves as the main tool for managing virtual machines using libvirt, focusing mainly on KVM but also supporting Xen and LXC containers.

It could be. What I understand is that it functions properly. I think it relies on KVM.

I don't have that information. Could you clarify which distribution you're referring to?

Manjaro, I know, it’s been a while.

Manjaro is only for clients... I'm planning to use virt with Ubuntu Server LTS. I'll share the outcomes next week since I'm away and my server is offline for hardware upgrades.

I discovered a fix for my issue. I'm now employing a KVM-based hypervisor on CentOS called oVirt, which supports passthrough and nested virtualization. Appreciate the guidance!
