Been looking at this some more and wondering if I have found the issue.
The processors definitely support virtualisation as I have checked it using the 'Intel_Processor_Identification_Utility-Legacy' tool for this and that comes up OK if I have Hyper-V disabled - see below:
If I then enable Hyper-V the settings change with both Intel VT and Intel VT-x no longer showing as enabled.
If I open up Task Manger and look at the CPU details then that does show virtualisation as enabled so it looks as if Hyper-V has taken the role of the Hypervisor and 'disabled' this in BIOS:
That I think is the issue here - the BIG-IQ setup checks for Intel VT-x, can't see that Hyper-V has taken over virtualisation duties and so I don't get the option to build a BIG-IQ. Looking at the requirements listed in the Hyper-V Set up guide would appear to back up my initial thoughts that this could be the problem:
The hypervisor CPU must meet the following requirements :
- Use a 64-bit architecture.Have support for virtualization (AMD-V or Intel VT-x) enabled.
- Support a one-to-one thread-to-defined virtual CPU ratio, or (on single-threading architectures) support at least one core per defined virtual CPU.
- Intel processors must be from the Core (or newer) workstation or server family of CPUs.
Does that make sense or have I disappeared down an enormous rabbit hole of my own making on a sunny day when I could be better off outside enjoying myself? 😆
Assuming I am right then the next question is how do I get around it or am I doomed? 🤔
