Title: Monero mining on Oracle Linux Server
Post by: pinux10 on September 21, 2017, 01:38:02 PM
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to mine Moneros with my 8 Intel Xeon on Oracle Linux Server but I do not know which miner I could use. I tried to use Docker but I receive the following error: "CPU does not have AES-NI, which is required."
My operating system is installed on a VM and I can't change it.
Which miner should I use to mine Moneros on my configuration?

Any help with be appreciated!

You can't mine on a VM because it uses the hardware features on the actual CPU (in this case AES-NI).  Depending on the VM hypervisor, you might be able to expose the AES-NI feature to the VM.

I can confirm that VMware (ESXi and Workstation) and VirtualBox both expose AES-NI to the guest, as I mine XMR in VMs under both of those using xmr-stak-cpu in Linux guests.
