If VMware Player Pro
fails to start the vApp for SAS Data Loader, an error message states
that Intel VT-x or AMD-v is not available. The message indicates that
virtualization is either not supported or not configured in your BIOS
(firmware.) Virtualization, also known as segmentation, enables the
vApp to share display memory with the host operating system.
To resolve the error,
determine your processor type, and then download and run a utility
that enables virtualization, as described in the following steps:
-
Determine whether your
computer has an Intel or AMD processor:
-
Press the Windows key and the R
key on your keyboard at the same time. The Run dialog
box appears.
-
In the Open field
of the dialog box, type msinfo32 and click OK.
-
In the System Information window,
ensure that System Summary is selected in
the left panel.
-
In the right panel, find System
Type and ensure that you have a 64-bit computer. Next,
find Processor to determine the processor
type (Intel or AMD.)
-
Download and use the
tool that determines whether virtualization technology is supported
on your processor:
-
Visit
virtualization hardware extensions page
to enable Intel and AMD virtualization hardware extensions. To obtain
information about how to navigate through your specific BIOS, contact
the support site for the manufacturer of your computer.
