installing HortonWorks Sandbox HDP on virtualbox in windows 10 home machine freezes my system.
RAM = 8 GB.
virtualization is enabled.
Yes, I understood what was the problem,
minimum requirement for HDP_2.5_virtualbox.ova is 8GB RAM,
my system had 8GB RAM, so all the memory was allocated to the VM,
so my Host Machine stuck.

I'm trying to set up a Raspbian image in VirtualBox 6.1.14 for development. I downloaded the latest .iso from the RPi website, and set up a VirtualBox machine with the OS set to Debian (32-bit). When I mount the .iso and start the machine, I'm able to get through all the installation steps until it gets to the point of configuring the package manager--at that point it freezes in both the text installer and the GUI installer.
I've tried doing this with the network adapter enabled and disabled, which made no difference. Is there a specific configuration to the VM that will get the installation to work?
I am a dum dum. I needed to up the memory on the VM. Below are the pertinent stats for it to work.
OS: Debian (32-bit)
Base Memory: 1024mb
Video Memory: 128mb
Graphics Controller: VMSVGA
Storage: 8gb
I am trying to install VMWare ESXi on a fresh hetzner server machine, I have ordered the machine with 4-port hardware RAID controller and 4 SSDs in total. I created an Array with RAID5 configuration, now if I reboot the server with VMWare-VMvisor Installer (tried with version 5.5 update03 and 6.5 update01), at the end of initializing the setup, it asks for the harddrive, but shows nothing (no option to select).
Can someone please tell me what have I done wrong? I thought its due to the RAID configuration but it doesn't seems like that.
I am using KVM hypervisor and have spun up 2 VMs(16vCpus, 16GB Memory) to run c++ builds. I started off with qcow2 and was seeing performance issues and changed it to raw format, cache=None. The c++ compile does well with raw format, however when the linker is run, the VM crawls and takes a long time to link as memory is swapping. My KVM host is a centos7 machine with 32CPUs, 64GB RAM, SATA drive. Any advise is appreciated.
There didn't seem to be a dedicated Virtualization SE, so...
I am looking to install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.1 (or an older version if it helps) on a 64bit AMD A8 architecture.
Is there a path to doing this without destroying/having to reinstall Windows 8 already preinstalled by the Vendor (Acer), making it one of the VMs instead?
Or in general? (Eg. on another PC running 32bit Ubuntu, where I would like to "insert" a Hypervisor as well).
Use VMware Converter. It converts a physical machine into a VM during runtime. It is freely downloadable after registering on the VMware site:

Yes, you can install VMware Workstation and then install vShpere Hypervisor 5.1 as a guest OS. I have done that before. VMware Workstation supports the so called nested virtualization which means you it can expose the hardware virtualization feature of CPU which is required by vSphere to the guest OS. If you don't want to pay for VMware Workstation, you can use VMware Player which is free but capable of nested virtualization.
Environment:
Motherboard: Asus P5Q3 Deluxe
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 # 2.33GHz 2.34 GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00GB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Scenario:
I am trying to run OpenShift Origin in VirtualBox and when clicking 'Start' I am getting the error:
"VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot".
From my searches on the internet, it seems that such a setting is available in the BIOS however I have been unable to find it.
So I am considering that such an option may not be available on my system?
If this is the case, what options do I have in regards to running OpenShift Origin in VirtualBox?
The specification on the Intel website suggests that your CPU doesn't support hardware virtualization (look for the 'Virtualization Technology (VT-x)' setting):

Hardware virtualization is a requirement for 64-bit guests in VirtualBox, and there is no workaround.
