Need help to enable virtualization in the bios settings - windows 2008 instance

[Srilatha Kancharla]

I'm working on a project to try and test oracle big data appliance which i have installed on oracle vm which i have set up on that instance that i created but when i try to start the vm it is giving me vtx not found error. 

After a bit of troubleshooting, i figured out the reason is because the virtualization is not enabled in the bios settings for the processor. Could somebody tell me how to get into the bios mode. 

Thanks,

Srilatha

Srilatha,

Google Cloud does expose the virtualization bit on already virtualized machines.

I would be curious to know the use case and why you need it in this case.

Hi Anthony, 

Thanks for the reply. I did not face any problems during the installation of oracle vm and also importing oracle big data appliance into the vm. but when i start the engine, it is giving me the below error. Attached screenshot with error msg. 

After reading through oracle documentation, it is mentioned that the below problem can occur if virtualization is not enabled at the processor level and it can be turned on at the bios level 

I need this for a sample project that i'm working on for learning purpose. 

Could you please help me with this. 

Thanks a lot, 

Srilatha

I'd help but don't know Oracle that well.  You will have to fix it there.

There are no bios options you can set on GCE to enable VTX.

[Srilatha Kancharla]

Ok, I'll see alternate options such as using it directly by skipping oracle vm. Thanks though!

Regards,

Any updates on this front. I am also facing the same issues. Need to run cloudera VM.

Hello Himanshu,

VT-x support is still a feature request that we are considering in the future. However, I don't have an estimated time to share with right now. You can keep an eye on Google Cloud Blogpost where we announce new features and products for Google Cloud Platform.

I hope that helps.

Hi Srilatha,

Can you explain how you resolved your issue by skipping oracle vm? 

I am trying to import cloudera vm into VirtualBox for training purposes as well and I get the same VT-x error (as follows) when I try to start my VM headless:

command:

VBoxManage startvm "cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.4.2-0-virtualbox" --type headless

Error: failed to start machine. Error message: VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX)

Appreciate it,

Ramin

Hi all,

I'm dealing with the same issue. I need to install docker terminal with Oracle Virtual Box and it requires enabling VTX on Bios! What am I supposed to do? I wouldn't like to migrate to AWS, but I'm not seeing alternative!

You may be able to test out our support for Nested Virtualization, which is currently in beta, although I'm not sure the scenario you describe has been officially tested. Note, some clouds currently offer Nested Virtualization support for VT-X, but EC2 does not seem to, unless you use third party solutions.
