I install EXSi 4.1 in bare-metal server, create a new VM machine named testvm, I also install EXSi 4.1 to testvm, and new a vm in testvm, but if I power on the vm within testvm, it have a problem showed following
" Running VMware ESX in a virtual machine requires the outer virtual machine to be configured for running a VMware ESX guest operating system. You can not power on a virtual machine until the outer virtual machine is reconfigured"
I see someone said add "vmx.allowNested = TRUE" to vmx document of testvm, I added, but problem still appeared,
Have anyone encounter the same problem?
I will appreciate for your suggestion
You have posted in VMware Fusion forum, you should probably post this in the ESX4 forum instead.

Discussion moved from VMware Fusion® (for Mac) to Nested Virtualization
Please edit the configuration file for your ESXi VM (testvm) and change the guest OS type to vmkernel:
guestos = vmkernel
