I have TrueNAS-12.0-U6.1 running on a machine with dual Xeon E5530 CPUs. These CPUs have EPT but not UG (unrestricted guest).
When I try to setup a new VM, the system warns me that it can only run with a single CPU, single core and single thread.
I have tried setting up a Ubuntu VM with a single CPU, core, thread but it fails to start up at all. I haven't been able to find any logs to indicate what is happening or why, so I suspect that it is the missing UG feature which is causing the issue, however, I have read some threads which indicate that it should work with single CPU settings.
/var/log/messages provides no info of value, no does the /var/log/middleward.log files. The only thing I see is:
2022/09/15 14:41:38] (DEBUG) VMDeviceService.update_device():2053 - Creating ZVOL HomeNAS/VM/UbuntuLTS-rnsb89 with volsize 53687091200
But interestingly enough, I see no files created in /mnt/HomeNAS/VM/UbuntuLTS-rnsb89. Am I expected to see a vdi file or something of the sort at that location?
Is there any hope for me to get anything working as a VM?
Code:
eric@truenas:~ $ grep VT-x /var/run/dmesg.boot VT-x: PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,VPID VT-x: PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,VPID
