Nested ESXi 5.5 host

Hello,

I have a test environment: few virtual ESXi 5.0 hosts and several VMs there.

Virtual ESXi are running on a physical ESXi 5.0 server. Everything worked fine.

Upgraded physical server to 5.5, then upgraded virtual ESXi to 5.5. Upgraded hardware to version 10 on virtual ESXi.

I can power on any VMs however none of them is pingable. Even can not ping default gateway from VM.

Appreciate any feedback

Hello,

Try this: In the virtual swith to which the virtual machines are connected enable Promiscous Mode in the virtual switch properties.
