VM problems

[Charlie86]

Hi,

I want to run VM machine on my FreeNAS box

I have

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz

16GB of ram.

All I want from this VM is DNS server.

I use this tutorial watch

But when I try to power up VM I always get State: STOPPED.

Is problem in my old CPU or could be something else?

Which version of FreeNAS?
Does the CPU meet the requirements test at https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.2/virtualmachines.html?
Is the Start on Boot box checked for the VM?(it has a slightly different name if you're on 11.2 instead of 11.2).

Hi,

I am running FreeNAS-11.1-U6.3

Since EPT and UG features are shown, CPU is fine.

[root@freenas ~]# grep VT-x /var/run/dmesg.boot
VT-x: (disabled in BIOS) PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,UG,VPID

About start on boot box, I am not sure where this is. If you mean "Autostart" check box in VM settings, then yes it is checked.

When I press start I even get green message on top of the screen "VM Started“

Is there any log files available?

It's called Wait to Boot in 11.1: https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.1/vms.html#creating-vms. Is that box unchecked?

 

[Charlie86]

Found it. Yes it was unchecked, just check it but VM still won't start

 

[dlavigne]

Anything in /var/log/messages when it fails to start? Also, which OS is installed into the VM?

 

[Charlie86]

Hi,

When I try to start VM in log file doesn't appear any new messages.

OS in VM is ubuntu-18.04.1.0-live-server-amd64.

Should this maybe be problem with permissions? I mention permissions because I am greenhorn in FreeNAS and have lots of problems with them :)

VT-x: (disabled in BIOS) PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,UG,VPID... I'll give you a hint ;)

 

[Charlie86]

When I see yours post, I was like 100% this is it.

I enable VT-x in BIOS

Now output shows

[root@freenas ~]# grep VT-x /var/run/dmesg.boot
VT-x: PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,UG,VPID

But VM still Won't start. :(

also no log messages. I am lost.

 

[Mlovelace]

Does it boot into the efi screen or the VM won't start at all?

 

[Charlie86]

UPDATE:

Just destroyed old VM and create new one.

Now VM starts, and I am able to connect to it via VNC, but still get some errors.

Are you using the 64bit ubuntu ISO? Did you select UEFI for boot method?

Hi everyone, I apologize if I reopen an old thread but I have an equal problem, my vm does not start remains in boot efi.
I also tried to manually select in the boot file, but I'm not successful.
Installed version Freenas 11.3 U2
operating system to be installed on Windows 7

cmd--> grep output VT-x /var/run/dmesg.boot
"VT-x: PAT, HLT, MTF, PAUSE, EPT, UG, VPID"

Windows 7 64 Bit? You cannot run 32 Bit on FreeNAS ...
