XRv console blank

Post by prime » Sun Mar 25, 2018 5:49 am

Hi,

I've EVE running in a VM Workstation and I'm facing an issue that when I start XRv boxes, they show up as blue, but when I open the console it's blank. I've reinstalled EVE twice now, made sure Intel Vt-d is enabled in BIOS. My 7200 dynamips image is working fine though. I've tried copying some other qcow2 images also from a different installation, which is also not working. I also have old version of UNL in VM, which also have problem with XRv now. Couple of months back, when I last used these (both UNL and EVE) XRv was working fine. After stopping XRv in web page, I'm getting some logs like this.

Any idea what to do?

Only answer is: improperly prepared XRv image

this one is how to prep image from VMDK

this one for XRv node from ova:

Thanks for your reply.

I had working UNL as well as EVE couple of months back. XR (5.2.2 and 6.x) was also working fine in that. I just tried opening it again recently for practice that's when it started this behavior. So I'm pretty sure XRv images were prepared properly. Anyway I reinstalled EVE twice now, XRv was prepared from the OVA using the same link that you pasted, but console is blank.

It can be Antivirus issue as well, if is turned on virtualization check on it.
AVG for example..
Go to menu>settings>troubleshooting, then, under "enable hardware-assisted vertualization" uncheck "use nested virtualization where available". That allows a VM to use its own virtualization.

That was it! Thanks a lot.

I had installed Avast a few months back, when I was not using EVE, so that's why it stopped working. Changed that setting and after reboot it's working again. Thanks again :)
