minikube start on Centos7

8/24/2017

I am trying to start minikube on centos 7, using VirtualBox 5.1, but it gives me this error:

E0823 19:26:32.888702   40645 start.go:129] Error starting host: Error creating host: Error executing step: Running precreate checks.
: This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory.

If you have any recommendations, how to fix it, please, give me a couple of advices. Thank you.

when running minikube on the host machine,you can add "--vm-driver=none",that means no virtual Machine

Quiet easy.

Because when you typing minikube start, it will automatically create a virtual Linux guest, running in virtualbox or kvm or sth. So, reboot and booting into you BIOS settings, turn on virtualization features(VT-X/AMD-v). And make sure you have virtualbox(minikube default) installed (or kvm ), and make sure you can ping gcr.io.

minikube start -h to see --vm-driver string VM driver is one of: [virtualbox kvm none] (default "virtualbox")
