"bosh create-env concourse-lite.yml" fails while creating VM

[SaurabhQA]

Hi,

I am trying to spin up Concourse using "bosh create-env concourse-lite.yml". I am using a Ubuntu VM to setup Concourse.

Below is the error seen: Started deploying Creating VM for instance 'concourse/0' from stemcell 'sc-6196df8a-6e26-411f-70b5-0cc0466a5adf'... Failed (00:01:18) Failed deploying (00:01:18)

Hi - please try these recommendations from the hashicorp/vagrant repository and see if they help.

Thanks, I tried reloading the vboxdrv, vboxpci, vbox* kernel modules. After that I am seeing a different error.

Seeing the same VT-x is not available error on the create-env step of my bosh deploy using Concourse (concourse-lite.yml). Steps I'm taking here.

VT-x is not available often means the Virtualization of the host's BIOS-level configuration has not been enabled. Try updating the host configuration and trying again.

Once I have enabled Hardware Virtualization (VT-x) on my VM I've got rid of the error 'VT-x is not available'.
