Building a VM Player Install not going well

Post by mrp » Tue Jun 18, 2019 11:13 pm

While i have tried, i have failed to get Eve-ng working, and what i cant understand is how to look at logs or understand why.

I have built Aruba-CX, CSR, IOS and VPC and none will start nor can i get a console to the VPC

I have attempted to build the CSR from iso, and when starting i get the following

root@eve-ng:~/csr# ls -l
total 343596
-rw-rw---- 1 man root 68608 Jan 25 14:04 com.cisco.csr1000v-disk001.vmdk

Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory

I am keen to build a large lab without the overhead of GNS3 but it's not going well.

Your install lack of kvm kernel support...

Meaning VT is not enabled/supported on your EVE VM.
This is mandatory....
