WSL2 and eve-ng coexist ?

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

WSL2 and eve-ng coexist ?

Post by slogoheinzy » Wed Dec 09, 2020 3:13 pm

Hi:

my build: win10 home/ build 19041.630
vmware workstation 16 player ( free)
eve-ng community
intel i5
8Gig RAM

im finding it impossible to get both WSL2 and eve-ng to run together:
WSL2 needs hyperV - needs windows feature ' virtual machine platform' enabled

Then vmware player wont run eve-ng vm unless vm virtualisation engine options are disabled for ' virtualise intel VT -x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI' and ' Virtualise CPU per performance counters'

Sp if i then disable these options, i can get both WSL2 and eve-ng vm to load up..

But then none of my virl cisco nodes will actually 'start' as per page 33 of community edition workbook , the vm player virtualisation settings that i just disabled need to be enabled

"Step 6: IMPORTANT Open VM Settings.
Set the quantity of CPUs and number of
cores per socket. Set Intel VT-x/EPT
Hardware Virtualization engine to ON
(checked).
"

theres a vmware post that i found that i believe relates to my issue

Sorry mate but i5 CPU is weakest of all to do any virtualisation
