Support Request: Can not create HVM volume

[js96...@gmail.com]

When you try to create the volume through the GUI error is issued.
Way: "qubes VM Manager/VM/Create AppVM/name and label/HVM/Ok"
then there is a window with an error
"[Dom0] Error creating AppVM!"

When you try to create the volume through the terminal I type:
qvm-create windows7 --hvm --label green

[aaa@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create windows7 --hvm --label green

Note: "неизвестный тип ОС hvm" - "unknown type of OS hvm"


In the future, that does not appear in the qubes VM Manager.

However, at "/var/lib/qubes/appvms" It appears directory "windows7"


The further attempt to continue the installation steps
_____________________________________________________________
qvm-start windows7 --cdrom=/dev/cdrom

A VM with the name "windows7" does not exist in the system.

Qubes OS Qubes release 3.0 (R3.0)
installation date 18.09.15 downloaded from the official website of the project.
Intel/Nvidia.
TVM: fedora-21, debian-8, whonix.

Please support.

Apparently your system don't have HVM support (VT-x). If you think you
have, check BIOS settings - it will be named like "Virtualization
support" or sth like this.
Then you can easily check that with qubes-hcl-report - it will show you
whether HVM hardware support is present or not (not present or not
enabled).

When you enable VT-x in BIOS, before you retry with creating HVM, you
need to manually remove /var/lib/qubes/appvms/windows7.

The error message above is highly unclear, so I've created ticket for
that:

Thank you, the problem is solved.

I checked "qubes-hcl-report" it turned out that "HVM: Not active"
(CPU:Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz).

Then I checked out BIOS settings - "Intel virtualization technology" He was not active.

After the inclusion of the item, that HVM was successfully created.

Thank you again!
