I have nested virtualization and can't start my vm in secondary layer how to fix it?

I install ESXI in workstation and create vm in ESXI.But my vm can't start in ESXI.

How can I resolve it ?

I had click Intel vt-x.

Do you receive any messages?

In order to run ESXi in VMware Workstation, the host needs to have a supported processor, and VT-x needs to be enabled in the host's BIOS.

If this still doesn't solve the issue, then please post the ESXi VM's latest vmware.log file.

The vmware.log you've attached is the one for the nested VM. What I'd like to see is the one for the ESXi VM itself.

Hello, z12312

Thanks a lot for your posting here.

Could you please let me know your workstation and esxi version? then I could have a try locally. Thanks
