bardsleyb Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I am trying to run GNS3 for my network engineer training. I am wanting to run GNS3 in virtualBox on my unraid VM. VirtualBox is saying "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot." How do I enable VT-x on the VM itself? Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Ok, so you want to install virtualbox inside a VM running on unRAID, correct? If so, you need to enable nested virtualization. See this post for details. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'll update with how it goes, thanks Jon. Quote Link to comment
bardsleyb Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Still no luck.... Where should I be looking to fix this? Or is what I am wanting to do just out of the scope of what can be done? I don't need to pass anything through at all for this VM to run in VirtualBox. It's just going to be used for GNS3.

bardsleyb Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Ignore my previous post. I pasted the line wrong and nested virtualization was not actually on. It is now and the virtual powers up without error now. Thank you for all the help! Issue is solved for me. Quote Link to comment
