This article describes how to resolve two VM activation errors that state the virtualization process 'failed to start domain'.
Scope
All supported versions of FortiDeceptor.
Solution
During VM activation or cloning, the following errors may be observed:
Failed to activate win10v1: cannot start VM for activation: error: Failed to start domain win10v1_act_3082278861233123 error: unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available. Check that virtualization is enabled in the host BIOS, and host configuration is setup to load the kvm modules.
Failed to start clone: error: Failed to start domain ubuntu18v1_cl_3082308425548501981 error: unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available. Check that virtualization is enabled in the host BIOS, and host configuration is setup the kvm modules.
In order to resolve the issue, ensure nested CPU virtualization is enabled on the virtual platform.
