Virtualized Intel VT-x/EP is not supported on this platform

Hi guys,

I'm trying to power up an appliance (Unified Networking Lab) on a free stand alone ESXi 6.0.0 hypervisor and getting the following error :"Virtualized Intel VT-x/EP is not supported on this platform"

Host details are as follows and I have already verified that VT is supported and enabled:

HP ProLiant DL360 G5

Intel (R) Xeon(R) CPU

E5450 @ 3.00GHz

Any ideas on this? Is this a license issue (not possible to run nested VMs on a free hypervisor)?

The E5450 does not support EPT, which is required for virtualized VT-x/EPT.

Thanks, I forgot to check that... here is a link to confirm ARK | Intel® Xeon® Processor E5450 (12M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)

Thanks again for the prompt response.
