Hi Vmx team,
Need help to sort out the problem.
I install the Win2008 R2 in the Nested VM's getting Boot log error stating Win 2008 64 bit is not supported.checked
Hardware Configuration
Intel VT/VX enabled i7 processor
350 GB HDD
8 GB RAM
Promious mode is enabled in the esx host.
Checked the Virtaulized mode is enabled in Bios
I already checked there is the discussion in the vmware community notified to edit the config file in the esx host
/etc/vmware/config = vhv.enabled = true
then i edited the vmx file of the the win08 64 bit also
CPUid
guest os = "kernel5"
then i power on the win2008 64 bit VM in the VMWare Workstation 8
it's same booting then error occur i recreated more than 20 VM's today itself booted mutiple os/2 WIn2012,Win2008R2,Win07,Win3200364bit.
Please help me to sort it out the problem.
Please post the vmware.log file for the outer VM.
Discussion moved from VMware Workstation to Nested Virtualization
Your vmware.log file is from Workstation 7. Workstation 7 does not support virtualized HV. You will need Workstation 8 (Player 4) or later.
Hey,
I install win2003 32 bit and linux 64 bit vesion its working fine only Win versions 64bit doesn't support.
I usually use vmware workstation 8 while installing the new virtaul machine asking whether they are two option is there
1 . Use VMware Workstation 7 used to communicate worstation 7,7.12 falvours and above version.
2. Use VMware Workstation 8 used to communicate workstaion 8 and above version.
I 'll check and revert
If you have problems running a 64-bit nested VM under Workstation 8, please post the vmware.log file for the outer VM.
Hey vmx team,
I tried VMWorkstation8 64bit its works for threedays my esx is crashed of VM Switch Settngs.
Again i built the VM Esx in the VMware Workstation 8 its prompts error in the bootlogin error screen, i made the changes in the /etc/vmware/config file
vhv.enable - "True"
I attach the error aand vmware log file
Please help me to solve the issue.
Go to the VM settiings for the ESX VM under Workstation and locate the Processors tab. Check the box next to "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI."
Hey,
I already tried,but still not working,any other opton to check.
The log file you posted doesn't have that option set. Can you post the log file from running the VM with the option checked?
The log file still shows that the option is not set. Note that I'm talking about the checkbox for "Virtualize VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI" -- *not* the menu selection for "Preferred Mode."
Sorry; I missed that you were suspending and resuming your VM. This change has to be made with the VM powered off.
Thanks mate...cheers
I'm having the same issue. I was running ws 8.0.2 when the ESXI 4.1U2 hosts were built.
The server I'm running workstation on is
Any help you can off would be appreciated.
The reason I'm running esxi4.1 is to document the upgrade process.
Thanks!
The implication of the message, "Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform," is that your host does not support EPT.
Does that forestall the ability to run a 64-bit OS in this environment? I understood VT to be a requirement, but is EPT as well?
Yes, for virtualized VT-x/EPT inside a Workstation VM, EPT is a requirement.
