VMware workstation 7.1 on virtual machine

[aartim]

Hi,

For testing purpose I'm using ESX5.0 on which i have different VMs. On one of the VM having OS win2k8R2 I have installled workstaion 7.1. I have done the required setting for nested virtualization to work like setting Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI bit, CPUId mask and setting vhv.allow to true.

Still observing the issue when i try to power on the virtual machine created on VMware workstation (hardware compatibility issue)

Can anypone please tell me is i'm missing on any settings ?

Is this scenario supported at all  ?

Thanks,

Aarti

Can you post the vmware.log file for the outer VM?

Officially, no.  If you have manually edited your /etc/vmware/config file on your ESXi host, you fall into the unsupported category.

Thanks for reply. Please check the log file attached.

About the support to this scenatio, as per details given on http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8970 this scenario should be supported, right ? But this KB does not mention anything about VMware workstation 7.1. So was curious to know about it.
