Need Help PCIE Passthrough + Nested Hyper-V 2016

[codygamer666]

I'm in a need of an hypervisor (free or cheap) that support nested hyper-v, pcie passthrough without uefi (the server is an hp dl380g7, supports vt-d and ept) and zfs filesystem support. I already checked unraid and proxmox and they don't support all of the things supported above (nested Hyper-v or pcie passthrough without uefi)

I hope someone can help me.

i've had pci-e passthrough working with this: https://virt-manager.org/ but i don't know if it supports all the other stuff. i do know that was on a system that didn't have UEFI if i remember correctly. 

 

it's also not as streamlined as something like unraid, in the sense that it runs on top of a normal linux distro.

If i'm not mistaken Virt-mangaer is only a gui that sits ontop of an hypervisor like kvm or xen...

" The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It primarily targets KVM VMs, but also manages Xen and LXC (linux containers)"

Manjaro is client only.... I think i'll try virt with ububtu server lts.

I'll post results next week bacuse i'm currently away and my server offline for hw upgrades.

Update: i found a solution to my problem. i'm now using a kvm based hypervisor under centos called oVirt that can do passthrough and nested virtualization. thanks a lot guys for your advice.
