Hi
I am a noob to the FreeNAS world, but I am trying very hard to learn and help myself.
However, I have a problem ...
I have a Dell Precision 490 machine with dual Xeon 5120 cpu's. From what I read, these cpu's may not support bhyve for VM's.
When I run grep VT-x /var/run/dmesg.boot - i get:
VT-x: HLT,PAUSE
which I believe means the cpu's do not support the necessary extended tables, etc. (I have turned on everything I can in BIOS to support - I believe).
So ... I would like to try to find a way to run a Windows and a Debian VM on the machine, somehow. And I would like to stick with the hardware I have, if possible. Purchasing new hardware is not an option as I don't really have the money for it at the moment. :(
I am looking to run the vm's to support running an application (MyMedia for Alexa) on the server, which plays music from my music collection (stored on the server) to an Alexa device.
Is it possible to run any alternative vm on FreeNASS 11? Or could I run the Windows and Debian inside a Jail?
I am very grateful for advice and thoughts. Thank you.
