jmbrnt Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hi My problem for this week is building a lab for an upcoming exam I am taking. For this, I need to run a few virtual Junos firewalls (vSRX). Juniper recommend VirtualBox when using Windows, which is fine by me (performance isn't the key parameter here, volume of hosts I can get running is). I originally wanted to run the vSRX themselves on unraid, but I have struggled with that - so will go the Virtualbox route. Firing up my VMs inside virtualbox was pretty simple, but I could only assign a single 'CPU' to the VM.. Following jonp's instructions here: I did these steps in order: - shut down both of my VMs - disabled VM manager - ran the commands JonP recommends - turned everything back on Now I can assign 2 CPU to the nested Virtualbox VM, so it looks like things work. However, when I try to turn the nested VM on, Windows restarts.. It doesn't like it at all. This is fairly typical of the log output I see when the Windows 10 VM crashes: host,hostbus=1,hostaddr=3,id=hostdev3,bus=usb.0,port=2 -device usb-host,hostbus=1,hostaddr=5,id=hostdev4,bus=usb.0,port=3 -device usb-host,hostbus=1,hostaddr=6,id=hostdev5,bus=usb.0,port=4 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -msg timestamp=on Domain id=3 is tainted: high-privileges Domain id=3 is tainted: host-cpu char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 (label charserial0) 2017-04-30T20:03:14.829458Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Cannot reset device 0000:00:1f.3, no available reset mechanism. 2017-04-30T20:03:14.829557Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Cannot reset device 0000:00:1f.3, no available reset mechanism. 2017-04-30T20:05:17.133972Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Cannot reset device 0000:00:1f.3, no available reset mechanism. I've attached the diagnostics file. Any help would be awesome, doing this inside Virtualbox would save me a lot of trouble. tower-diagnostics-20170501-0954.zip Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 It's early in the am for me, and in all honesty, I didn't read your post, but try this vid, with special attention to the user scripts stuff: 1 Quote Link to comment

jmbrnt Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 FWIW this won't work - VirtualBox doesn't support VT-in-VT - https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4032 Quote Link to comment
