Problem with qemu in eve-ng on esxi

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.

Problem with qemu in eve-ng on esxi

Post by dendj2402 » Mon Apr 03, 2017 10:25 am

Hi, everybody! Help to solve a problem. I installed eve-ng on esx. But in attempt will start a node with qemu (example Linux), loading starts and at once hangs. Support of virtualization is enabled.

I guess VT is NOT enabled...

check with: grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo

if vmx is not shown, VT is not enabled....

The right way to check whether virtualization is enabled:

Code: Select all

egrep -o 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo
Please do not ignore AMD guys :)

Hi dendj2402,

I see that you ESXi system is with an AMD processor, please can you specify what model is?
I'm getting issues with EVE and my AMD Phaenom II X6 1055t.

Could you please show us the output for "cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested" from EVE-NG VM?
