Intel VT-x not recognised by unraid on i7-4790 CPU

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I recently upgraded my version of unraid from v6.0-beta14 to 6.1.0.  I was previously using xen to run a couple of virtual machines.  Since upgrading, obviously my xen VM's are no longer available so I went to install KVM.  However, for some reason unraid doesn't seem to detect the capabilities of my CPU which according to this page http://ark.intel.com/products/80806/Intel-Core-i7-4790-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_00-GHz should support this feature.

XEN isn't supported at all in any finalized version of unRAID.

 

Are you sure you have vt-d enabled in BIOS?

That's probably it... I'll have a look..

What did you find?  Just curious if this is still an issue.

 

Edit:  if I don't hear from you soon, I or another will move this to General Support.  We can always move it back if needed.

I'm going to wager that this simply wasn't enabled in his BIOS.  Probably had linux-only guests when he was using Xen, which doesn't require any hardware-based virtualization to work.  KVM requires it for ALL guests.

Agree ... that's about the only reason it wouldn't work.

I recently upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1.9 and am having this same issue, but I'm not home to check the bios at the moment. Previously I had  a Win vm setup under zen not to mention the fact that my hardware clearly supports vt-x. Any other things I could try if it's not the bios issue?

It wasn't bios for me. I still had a setting for starting unraid with zen set. Once I started normally, KVM was enabled in unraid.
