VMWare工作站Ubuntu 18.04-Minikube：创建VM时出错：

Question

I'm attempting to run Minikube in a VMWare Workstation guest, running Ubuntu 18.04.

kubectl version results in:

Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"12", GitVersion:"v1.12.0", GitCommit:"0ed33881dc4355495f623c6f22e7dd0b7632b7c0", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-09-27T17:05:32Z", GoVersion:"go1.10.4", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

minikube version results in:

minikube version: v0.29.0

I have enabled Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI on the VMWare guest configuration. I have 25GB of hard drive space. Yet, regardless of how I attempt to start Minikube, I get the following error:

Starting local Kubernetes v1.10.0 cluster...
Starting VM...
E1005 11:02:32.495579    5913 start.go:168] Error starting host: Error creating host: Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: Error creating VM: virError(Code=1, Domain=10, Message='internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2018-10-05T09:02:29.926633Z qemu-system-x86_64: error: failed to set MSR 0x38d to 0x0

 Retrying.

Commands I've tried:

minikube start --vm-driver=kvm2

minikube start --vm-driver=kvm

minikube start --vm-driver=none

All result in the same thing.

I notice that on the Ubuntu guest, the network will shortly disconnect and re-connect when I run minikube start . Is it a problem with the network driver? How would I debug this?

Answer 1

Apparently getting virtualbox as a dependency to use as a vm driver works.

sudo apt install virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack

minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox

Now results in:

Starting local Kubernetes v1.10.0 cluster...
Starting VM...
Getting VM IP address...

etc

I observed a similar issue on Ubuntu 18.04.1 VM (Intel), the solution I found is:

1. Run this from the console:

$ sudo cat > /etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf << EOF
options kvm_intel nested=1 enable_apicv=n
options kvm ignore_msrs=1
EOF

2. Reboot the VM
