Unable to start CVM on new install 3/4 nodes/ | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Trying to setup a four node Nutanix cluster. All nodes are identical, including the BIOS settings. Three nodes will not start the CVM, seemingly due to not being able to pass the pcie SSD to the VM. Any thoughts on why this would be?

virsh start NTNX-187dcf47-A-CVM
error: Failed to start domain NTNX-187dcf47-A-CVM
error: Hook script execution failed: internal error: Child process (LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu NTNX-187dcf47-A-CVM prepare begin -) unexpected exit status 1: Could not detach device : 0000:02:00.0
lspci | grep 2:00

Might be an issue with IOMMU???


Intel VT-t was disabled in a buried BIOS menu on the nodes that didn’t work.
