How can I check if my CPU and board support VT or AMD-V?

Hi.

I have a server running ESXi. I want to know if it supports AMD-V for hardware-based virtualization. Is there any way to check it from one of the guest os running (centos 5).

Also, I tried rebooting the box and I can't see an option in the bios to turn on/off Virtualization. Although from Asus site they say it supports is:

The motherboard is an ASUS KFN4-DRE and has 2 Dual Opteron 2216 2.4GHz processors.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also, on a side note, I have another box with HDAMA board and 2 Dual Opteron 275s. Do these support AMD-V as well? No option in bios as well.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep "(svm|vmx)"

But I don't know if that will work from within a guest OS. You may have to look at the specs for your processors from your manufacturer.

Thanks.

That doesn't yield any results. Although I'm running it in a guest centos. I tried going to ssh of the esxi server but /proc/cpuinfo does not exist.

I'd like to find this out without having to reinstall the whole box.

Any suggestions? The cpu is an Opteron 2216.
