Possible issues
VT-x is disabled in BIOS
Some users may get this error when first trying to run the virtual machine:
| Code Block |
|---|
"Failed to open a session for the virtual machine openifs. VT-x is disabled in the BIOS. (VERR_VMX_MSR_VMXON_DISABLED)."
|
This arises because the OpenIFS/Metview virtual machines are 64-bit which requires hardware virtualization support in the BIOS of your computer to be enabled.
There are many helpful pages on Internet forums to resolve this, see for example: http://askubuntu.com/questions/256792/how-do-i-enable-hardware-virtualization-technology-vt-x-for-use-in-virtualbox
