I did a P2V of a 64bit RHEL6.3 box but am unable to start the kvm vm with the error, "
Error,
"Error polling connection qemu:///system: internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64."
The i5 processor checks out, "Intel(R) VT-x with Extended Page Tables: Yes" (Using Intel Processor Identification Utility)
# esxcfg-info |grep "HV Support"
|----HV Support............................................3
|----World Command Line.................................grep HV Support
I upgraded to hardware version 10 and then backed it down to 9 with a text edit and add vm back to inventory.
I have the vm Virtual settings to use:
Use Intel VT-x for instructions and
Use Intel for MMU virtualization
If I understand this correctly I need the following to run a Linux kvm vm in a Linux Guest vm:
Hardware with VT-x, CHECK.
Hardware version 9 or 10, version 9, CHECK.
One or more additional lines in the *.vmx file.
vhv.enable ="TRUE"
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = FALSE
I also heard this could help:
apic.xapic.enabled="FALSE"
Secondly the kvm vm is on a LVM volume that also has the root partition. If I am not able to run the kvm vm then another option would be to copy that vm out and do a separate p2v and run as a separate vm if you have any suggestions there.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you are able to provide.
Mark
