VM Nesting Error

[BlackBeret20111]

Hi guys,

The nesting I'm trying to do is as follows:

         VM

           +

           +

           +

VMware Workstation

           +

           +

           +

         VM

           +

           +

           +

     ESXi 4.1

I keep getting this error:

"Running VMware Workstation in a virtual machine requires the outer virtual machine to be configured for running a VMware ESX guest operating system. You may not power on a virtual machine until the outer virtual machine is reconfigured."

I tried doing what's suggested here with no luck: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8970

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Welcome to the Community,

with current VMware products you cannot run any nested 64-bit guest operating systems, because VT (required for 64-bit guests) is not passed through to a guest.
