Bug #12809
VirtualBox 6.1.8 errors attempting to start VM
0%
Description
Hi
Upgraded my Dual Quad Core Opteron Desktop to latest OpenIndiana on 2020-05-29 at 18:10 BST (illumos-60f7064656), Running VirtualBox 6.1.8 r137981, VirtualBox Manager starts but attempting to start any VBox instance results in the following
"Failed to open a session for the virtual machine win7-telsa4.
VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension. Please close all other virtualization programs. (VERR_SVM_IN_USE).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}"
VirtualBox stopped working in May 2020, reverting to a BE prior to MAy allows VirtualBox ro run VBox instances.

Hi,
Upgraded to latest OpenIndiana Hipster on 1st August and I still get the same error when attempting to start a VBox instance
"Failed to open a session for the virtual machine toucan.
VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension. Please close all other virtualization programs. (VERR_SVM_IN_USE).

I can only run VirtualBox if I boot into an environment created on 4th April 2020 @ 18:31 or before.
There appears to be a problem with VirtualBox 6.1.8, as 6.1.6 runs fine.
Did not Virtualbox 6.1.8 introduce technology that allowed it to run nested virtualisation vms but only on Intel CPUs, could that be the source of the problem. VirtualBox 6.1.8 complains that it can not enable the AMD-V extensions because they are in use, I am not running any other virtualisation except VirtualBox. So either the detection code is wrong or it is returning the wrong state

Updated by Andy Fiddaman 6 months ago
Now that 13022 is integrated, Virtualbox can again be used on OpenIndiana with the appropriate setting in /etc/system. For example:
# echo set hma_disable = 1 > /etc/system.d/hma # init 6
This will work once the OpenIndiana kernel is rebuilt with the 13022 change.
