Android 7.1 Image on Google Cloud

[hassan96]

Hello,

I am currently trying to download a vmdk android 7.1 vm on google compute engine but was facing some issue.

1. I tried creating the image and the VM off the image created but was getting a firewall error even when the firewall rule was created

2. I tried created a ubuntu 16.04 and from inside the vm download the zip containing the vmdk file and running the image through the ubuntu vm and wasnt able too

3. I created a windows 2022 vm and downloaded virtual box with the vmdk in the virtual box when I start up ubuntu 16.04, the vm crashes and reboots

Any ideas on what I can do to get this issue resolved?

Hello @hassan96 ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

1. I tried creating the image and the VM off the image created but was getting a firewall error even when the firewall rule was created

1. Would be good to get info:

• what kind of FW rules you have in your VPC already
• Do your VM is using external IP or not
• What OS you’ve picked up to create VM

I tried created a ubuntu 16.04 and from inside the vm download the zip containing the vmdk file and running the image through the ubuntu vm and wasnt able too

Most probably you didn’t enabled “nested virtualization” for particular VM

3. I created a windows 2022 vm and downloaded virtual box with the vmdk in the virtual box when I start up ubuntu 16.04, the vm crashes and reboots

This is because:

• your VM is to small ( vCPU and MEM ) to handle virtualization
• your VM does not have enabled nested virtualization
