Test vCloud Director in Workstation 8

[mvale83]

Hi

I am trrying to evaluate vcloud director in workstation 8 before roll out. When I start the VM it errors saying please install in a valid vcenter server. If I import the ova into my ESX hosts within workstation 8 it errors because the CPU requires 64 bit. I have Vshield Manager working, vcenter appliance and 2 esx hosts

Is there a way of doing it?

Have you done the following to enable 64-bit guest VMs?

To enable virtualized HV, select VM->Settings and navigate to the processor  settings screen. Check the box next to  "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or  AMD-V/RVI."
