Apps and Virtualization

Hi there, i need some help from the experts.

After a power outage the other day, my VM’s will not start. i get the following error:

CallError

[EFAULT] This system does not support virtualization.

Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Have you tried booting into the Bios/UEFI and verifying your cpu virtualization settings?

3

Yes, it sounds like your BIOS settings may have been corrupted. Resestting your BIOS to defaults, and then reconfiguring to your settings from before the power outage should restore service.

4

Ok, I’ll give that a try. Thanks for the replies.

I’d consider swapping out the cmos battery then if bios settings getting wonky after a power outage.

Would save you the trouble of having to set them up twice in the near future.

A couple years ago, a nearby lightning strike caused a power outage that my truenas scale system was able to recover from but the VM would not start. So if your BIOS is undamaged and virtualization is enabled you might have to rebuild the VM from a snapshot, like I did.

The bios setting got reset. Once I turned virtualization on everything was back to normal. Thanks for the suggestion.
