VM on Truenas error

[CBlack]

I am trying to setup a vm on my truenas rig but i am sure that i checked to make sure that the motherboard supported VMs. I cant find this error info to confirm or not but all of them that I do find is related to being to large of a drive for the pool it was given to. 500 g on 1 tb drive

It's not just the motherboard that needs to support virtualization. Your CPU does too. What CPU do you have? You can check it against Intel ARK to see if it's virtualization-capable. Specifically, TrueNAS virtualization requires a CPU that supports VT-x with extended page tables (EPT). See the documentation at https://www.truenas.com/docs/core/coretutorials/jailspluginsvms/virtualmachines/creatingbasicvm/, and expand the section under What system resources do VMs require?.

Running
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler
MOBO: ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen™) Mini-ITX SFF Gaming Motherboard
RAM: 64 gigs

followed a guide and then went back with default settings and get same error

Edit: using a fresh made win10 iso that is on the other drive.

 

[Samuel Tai]

Did you enable virtualization in the BIOS?

Thanks Samuel Tai. It was not turned on. Now working on getting a new iso of win10 with virtIO
