Hi All,
I wanted to run KVM over Ubuntu which is hosted on ESXi server, I believe my CPU is not supporting KVM. KVM needs support for VT-x & EPT support.
Please find CPU details, its E5345.
As per below link, it doesnt support VT-x EPT.
Is there any work around to it ? Can I do something in root, so Ubuntu believes its OK to run KVM without VT-x & EPT.

Hi,
You CPU is supporting virtualization technology and there is no problem about running hyper-visor on that.
You need to enable nested hardware for the Ubuntu machine, try the instructions that mentioned in the below link:
How to Enable Nested ESXi & Other Hypervisors in vSphere 5.1 | virtuallyGhetto
The instruction is same as above for ESXi 5.5 or 6.x with some difference.
Hi,
I edited VMX file for that vm, and now getting below error.
Changes:
vi /vmfs/volumes/56c4ba35-2494476c-19b2-001e0bc9acba/Ubuntu-21/Ubuntu-21.vmx
vhv.enable = "true"
