Specifically I'm trying to get a docker host to work, but I keep getting the below error when I try to start it.

Code:

[EFAULT] VM Docker failed to start: vm exit[0] reason VMX rip 0x0000000000000000 inst_length 0 status 0 exit_reason 33 qualification 0x0000000000000000 inst_type 0 inst_error 0

Code:

Issue appears to be related to the processor. Bhyve (the FreeNAS hypervisor) requires Intel® Extended Page Tables (EPT) and VMX unrestricted mode support (UG).

I've got an Intel® Xeon® L5630 for $20 on the way. Hopefully this ends my troubles.

Did it?

I just got the CPU today, and Rancher worked first try. I might rebuild it a couple of times as I figure it out, but it is up and running. I was even able to give it 4 vCPUs.
