Virtualiza​tion: ThinkStati​on S30 vs VT-d

Hi. 
I got my S30 the other day and installed Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V.
The system has an E5-1603 processor and a Quadro 400 gfx. Both are low end and can be upgraded once things turn out ok. Hyper-V 2012 als does not require a physical GPU for RemoteFX and the E5-1603 supports VT-d.
However, RemoteFX doesn't seem to be working. I cannot activate anything in Hyper-V that would take advantage of it and I am suspicious of VT-d. In the Bios (latest a0jy40usa) virtualization is enabled.
One problem I see is under the Intel TXT(LT-SX) configuration it says VT-d Disabled. Why would it be disabled? And how can it be enabled? Is this a Bios bug?
Thanks for any pointers!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is a setting in BIOS to enable VT-d as it's disabled by default.  Go into BIOS setup, devices, northbridge, IOH config, and in there you will see an option to enable VT-d.  That will simply turn on VT-d.  If you want TXT as well, you'll have to enable the TPM under security.  The TXT/VT-d  config screen (under the advanced tab) is really just a display of what's on/off as far as TXT, VT-d, and the supporting components required.

    These fix a battery charging issue and have several other important fixes from previous updates rolled in. However, the real problem you will face is that the P7350 processor standard in that machine does not support virtualization.

  • Thinkstati​on Virtualiza​tion

    Greetings,
    I recently read this article, and I was very intriuged by the use of the system's 4 graphics cards for remote design and computing.  Two questions:
    1. Does Lenovo have any plans for a rack mounted thinkstation like this (other than the C30 I suppose).
    2. Does Lenovo support these virtualization packages like Citrix.  If so, does anyone know how they work?
    Cheers.

    C-series and D-series are rack mountable with the correct rail mount kits.  S-series is not rack mountable as it's slightly shorter than the others.
    As for the virtualization part of it, nothing is officially supported at this time.  The remote workstation is really a niche market right now, but it is growing.  Each implementation has it's own issues, particularly with performance/latency.

  • ThinkStati​on S30 has problems with SSD MX100

    I installed a Crucial MX100 256GB SSD into my ThinkStation S30 running under Windows 8.1.
    The BIOS appears to recognise the MX100 and I was able to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 which appears to be running OK.
    However, Crucial's Storage Executive software fails to find the SSD in the ThinkStation so I am unable to update the firmware to the latest version. I also tried to update the firmware using Crucial's manual ISO method which failed as well.
    My Windows 8.1 installation is up to date and I have installed Intel's RST software as suggested in one of the posts on the forum.
    Does anyone have any ideas of suggestions as to how I can get the softare to run on the ThinkStation S30.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    My guess is the crucial software doesn't have support for the Intel SCU controller you're likely connected to (this assumes your SSD is connected to a blue SCU SATA port).
    You can try temporarily connecting the SSD to one of the legacy AHCI SATA  connectors (red/orange) and then try running the software to see if the drive is detected correctly.
    I don't know what the rest of your configuration looks like, but you might be better off leaving that SSD on one of the red AHCI SATA connectors to get it running at 6Gb/s.  The blue SCU connections will limit your SSD to 3Gb/s bandwidth.

    Ricky119,
    We can inquire further, but the IdeaPad product line does not support VT presently.  As it is not marketed as specifically having this feature, this will likely be seen as a future requirement rather than a bug to fix.

  • Virtualiza​tion support in HP Probook 4530s

    Bonjour,
    I have HP Probook 4530s. I am using VirtualBoxPro on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I wanted to use acceleration support in a virtual machine in VirtualBoxPro but the acceleration tab was disabled in the software. I went through many forums and found that accleleration and virtualization have to be enabled from the  BIOS. But virtualization support is also disabled in the BIOS. 
    How can i enable it in the BIOS coz all my work is dependent on the virtualization support.
    Kind Regards
    Scott Thomas

    What processor do you have? I am pretty sure the system can do hardware virtualization, but only if you have a processor capable of it, and not all of them are.

  • No Virtualiza​tion Enable Setting in BIOS for TS140?

    There is no Virtualization Setting in the BIOS (version 48A released date 8/26/13) of the new TS140. I have installed server 2012 but not able to install Hyper-V option. Called Lenovo Tech Support but he told me that if the Intel Chipset driver is installed then Virtualization is enabled. I double checked that it has the correct software driver installed but see no possibility of enabling VTx from within server 2012 OS. I hope this message would go to the LENOVO support guru and Please let me know if the VTx enabling setting will be implemented in the future releases of the BIOS. Thank you.

  • Enable virtualiza​tion

    Hi,
    I have a Pavilion DV7-2260ed. It has the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20GHz. It has hardware virtualization, but Virtual PC's detection application warns that the capability is disabled in the BIOS.
    My BIOS does not have an option to enable it.
     I have read on fora that the advanced options in the bios can be enabled. However, for this specific model there is no Flash file available.
    What can I do?

    In the bios however I do not have the option to enable VT (Virtualization Technology). I've read some forums and apperently it's possible is some bios'es, and in some it's just not possible. I need it to be enabled for school, so this is a serious issue.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance,

    In your case, it is not possible for you to enable Intel VT because the CPU does not support this feature. (Your dv7-2215eb has an Intel Core 2 Duo T6600.)

    It seems that my T6600 Duo core processor is unable to support VT-x.
    I do not have the enable Virtualization Technology option in my BIOS and also do not know how and if I can enable the advanced options. But now, I think it is not necessary anymore.
    Thank you for your reply though.

  • Cannot enable AMD-V virtualiza​tion extensions in BIOS

    Hello All,
    I recently purchased a like-new X120e and discovered via much trial and tribulation that Fedora and Windows 7 Pro in dual boot configuration just aren't going to happen for me right now. 
    This wasn't a big deal until I discovered that I can't seem to enable the AMD-V virtualization extensions in BIOS under CPU.  I'll repeatedly enable them and reboot (saving changes of course) and it'll go right back to disabled.
    Any advice?
    Many thanks,
     - DownLink

    I had the same problem on a Thinkpad X121e (3051): When I enabled AMD-V virtualization in bios it would revert to disabled upon saving of the bios settings.
    It turned out that Memory Protection is causing the setting to be non-sticky.
    The solution is simple: 
    disable "Execution Prevention" (under Security -> Memory Protection);
    enabled AMD-V;
    enable "Execution Prevention" if you want it on;
    save bios settings

    Hi,
    If you are running the base Intel E2200 then VT is not supported. 
    Try the latest bios version 5.43.  You need to be running VISTA or Windows 7 to install it. Now consider upgrading the processor to one which supports VT such as the Intel Core 2 Duo (W) E8xxx.  You might find the processor on eBay.

  • Virtualiza​tion for C40D A4-5000

    So hey, I just bought this laptop a couple of weeks ago because it's on sale and it's CPU supports Virtualization.
    So the thing is, I cant seem to find the option to enable Virtualization in the bios. AMD's spec page for the A4-5000 clearly states that it suports virtualization. I've tried updating my bios but I still can't find the option to turn on VT. Any help or suggestion?

    I don't know.
    But I can tell you from what I read here that Toshiba is unlikely to provide such features in its consumer (lowest) Satellite line. You'll usually find them in the business (Tecra and Portege) models.

  • T500 - Intel P8800: HW Virtualiza​tion not recognized​.

    Two things.
    1. Make sure you completely power off and on again after enabling virtualization
    2. Are you running any other sort of virtualization software, such as VMware?  If so, that may take control as only one app can be vt enabled at a time.

    Hi pallabmukherjee,
    Thanks for posting. Just to confirm with you, when you say enabling the virtualisation. Do you mean enabling the Intel Virtual Technology? If you're aiming to do this you can do so by going into your BIOS.
    Please see illustration below.
    Hope this helps.
