Hello,
I just did a new installation, but CVM won't start at all.
No errors occurred during installation.
During setup, the SSDs were selected as ‘C’ and ‘H’.
The HDD was selected as ‘D’.
How can I resolve this issue?
Hp z800 workstation
cpu : 2x xeon x5650
ram: 128gb
1x hdd 1tb
2x ssd 250gb
+8Can you have a look how much memory the cvm has been given by the installer?

+8I see something strange in your screenshots. On the first screenshot the AHV prompt is root@localhost. This indicates that the installer was not ready yet. On your last screenshot the prompt is changed to match the host name. This means the installer is ready for the AHV part. Please be patient when installing CE ;) It will do lots of things after the first reboot.
But oké lets continue. In your last screenshot your CVM has configured 20GB memory. You say that your server has 128GB memory. Are you running nested or are you running directly installed on bare metal?
as what you have mentioned in your first post, you have installed CE on your computer directly (not nested).can you reboot your computer once and check if the CVM will start or no.
try to start the CVM, (virsh start <cvmname>) does it start?
if it is failing, I suggest , you do the deployment one more time as there could be something went wrong with the deployment.
I performed a clean installation again, installing directly on bare metal the same mistake persists.
After installation, I restarted it and waited about 30-40 minutes before trying to run it.
Can you start the cvm vm manually,does it give you any error?!
If you do tail -f ~/logs/genesis.out do you see any errors(some errors are generic).
In order to access the genesis log file, don't I first need to access the CVM? I can't access the CVM at all. I only have an AHV connection. When I try to start the CVM, I encounter the error shown in the screenshot.
+5Xeon X5650 are Westmere processors and are not supported with CE2.0+ due to the lack of AVX extensions. Even if you got the CVM up and running from an OS perspective, you will not be able to configure/run storage.
The earliest HP workstation that would be supported with be a HP Z820.
Anything that is Sandy bridge or later is supported:
See here for the Hardware Requirements for CE (Sandy Bridge or greater is supported)

And here for a list of Intel Architectures in order (Westmere is pre-Sandy Bridge)
