vMX

Hi All,

I'm having a bit of a nightmare installing vMX .  I run the install script and get the following error.

Start vfp-vmx1....................................[Failed]
error: Failed to start domain vfp-vmx1
error: internal error: Process exited prior to exec: libvirt:  error : internal error: Host kernel is not aware of NUMA.
Log file........................................../home/vmx/vmx-14.1R5.4-1/build/vmx1/logs/vmx_1440434805.log
==================================================
 Aborted!. 1 error(s) and 0 warning(s)

I'm installing vMX on ubuntu 14.04 32-bit, it's running on an ESXi server, which has guest hypervisor enabled.  But I'm banging my head against a brick wall. 

Can anyone provide step by step how to get this up and running?

Thanks!

Hey I hit this very same error.

Make sure that the Ubuntu14.04 is a 64bit image not 32 bit image.

I originally had a 32 bit nested KVM image and got same issue with NUMA

Image below is 64bit and the numactl --show command confirms NUMA support
