ESXi5 supports nested virtualization?

Hi friends

I have a requirement to install RHEL6 Guest OS on a host of ESXi5 RHEL6. Is it possible to install or do you need to change something or the ESXi5 does simply not support? I tried to install it like that and it is said that:

Connection pooling error ' qemu: / / / system': internal error can not find the emulator suitable for x86_64.

It is possible in VMware workstation. There is an option in the settings of the VM who: Virtualiza Inter VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR

but I could not find in ESXi5.

Any suggestion is very grateful.

Thank you

Check if the below allows...

  • Satellite C870 - 1 H 2 and support for virtualization

    Hello

    I am (was to) buy a Toshiba Satellite C870 - 1 H 2 (from amazon.co.uk).
    The specifications look ideal for me, but at the last moment, I thought to check if VT - x extensions are supported.

    I know that the processor supports extensions (as detailed here: [http://ark.intel.com/products/71465/]), but I know also that the extensions are often not enabled (or there is no option in the BIOS to enable them).

    The expression "Virtualization Technology" (which is present on other pages of the specification) is clearly absent from the plug laptop here: [http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-c870-1h2/].
    I saw some comments that suggest the Satellite * Pro * series usually provides the support for virtualization, but it always seems to be missing on many current models of Pro's specifications.

    I don't know why the C870 would not support VT - x, when we know that his material, but the specifications indicate that this is the case. On the other hand, I found no references to people complaining about the lack of VT - x support.

    So my question is, the Satellite C870 - 1 H 2 actually does support VT - x, or not?
    (and if not, because it takes just a very small piece of code BIOS, why not?)

    Thank you

    > The same issue applies. These models are supported virtualization

    VT support is always depends on the CPU built in Notepad. But you mentioned it in the first post.
    According to the page of the Ark from Intel, the Intel Pentium 2020 M processor supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT - x)

  • Absent an error of supported CPU virtualization when upgrading from 4.1 to 5.0

    Well the title says it all, I have upgrades a box 4.1 yesterday and outside warnings on the drivers (on same hw not installed), I got this message telling me to double check the support of virtualization in the BIOS because it seems to be disabled.

    Now virtualization support enabled for 3 years now and ESXi 4/4.1 never complained to this topic... Is it possible, that he does not see this unfortunate esxi 5.0? How can I check this? Perhaps on the vshpere client?

    P.S. I have perform the update twice and the second time, he complained that no more than on the steps of pilots and virtualization.

  • "Operation not supported" when you create virtual machines in nested virtualization

    Hello world

    I'm quite new to ESX so I decided to give it a try by installing nested within VMWare Worktation 10 for Linux.

    My CPU is an i7-4960 x with 64 GB of RAM so VT-x/EPT gone automatically. 16GB gives ESX.

    Networking configured, also some systems of NFS files, the Datacenter newly created for storage (exported from my base OS Ubuntu 13.10) and attached my virtual ESX (via vCenter appliance).

    What's weird is that I tried to create a Windows 2008 R2 VM in ESX, but the installation does not start a "unsupported operation" appears on the management of web vshere.

    I'm stuck here, trying to find a reason for this.

    I would be really happy if someone out there could help me solve this puzzle.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Not available in Solaris 11.2 nested virtualization

    Hello!

    Anyone know why virtual hardware virtualization is not available for my guest 11.2 Solaris?

    I want to be able to use the kernel of Solaris zones.

    The host environment:

    SuperMicro A1SRM-2758F, 32 GB of RAM

    ESXi - 5.5 (build 2302651)

    I know that the CPU (Atom C2758) supports the VT - x and EPT which is required for 64-bit virtualization nesting

    And navigation:

    https://MyIP/mob/?MOID=HA-host & doPath = Capability

    Show me the (unsupported) feature is available:

    nestedHVSupportedBoolean

    true

    I have created a virtual machine with vHardware vmx-10, selected "expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS ' and installed Solaris 11, 2 as a guest.

    I also checked that "vhv.enable ="TRUE"' is not found in the vmx file."

    But since the kernel of Solaris box comments are not available:

    # virtinfo

    NAME CLASS

    VMware courses

    -area support

    # uname - a

    SunOS 5.11 global1 11.2 i86pc i386 i86pc

    Anyone have ideas why this is not available. Worked fine in VMware Fusion.

    Best regards

    -Morten Hermansen, Fanitas Green

    I think I found it.  11.2 Solaris dislikes apparently the model and the progression of your CPU Avoton.  If I change the model and execution of my Haswell system to match your Avoton, I lost also for areas of kernel comments in my Solaris 11.2 customers.

    Try these configuration options:

    featMask.vm.cpuid.MODEL = Val: 0x3c

    featMask.vm.cpuid.STEPPING = Val: 0 x 3

    That will give the impression that you have a processor Haswell (at least to the extent where the model and progression are concerned).

  • Support for virtualization on Satellite C855

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C855 29N. I am trying to run the virtualization on it, but running on the following questions:

    VMware Player;
    This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
    This host is not compatible Intel VT - x.

    On the attempt of activation of Microsoft Hyper-V platform:
    Hyper-V cannot be installed. The processor has no virtualization required capabilities.

    The BIOS settings for the virtualization technology configured only for VT - x (another option is "off").

    Even if the laptop was advertised as an i3 - 2350 m, it actually comes with an Intel Pentium B960, which some "Googling" suggests that he does not support VT

    I hope someone can tell me if I have a chance of running VMware or Hyper-V on this laptop I have a small window in which return it if it proves inadequate.

    See you soon

    AFAIK all you can do is change the settings in the BIOS and use available options. No more than that.

  • Satellite P100 series with core2duo - no support for virtualization?

    Hello
    my brand new laptop P100-324 with core 2 duo T7400 has no virtualization support - however, it was clearly written in Tech spec.
    It was not cheap at all, so I don't think that the sheet will lie!

    It's serious reflection.
    I ask the representatives of toshiba to lose a word or two here in this topic and when new BIOS on, which will allow the Intel VT.

    If it will be - as I hope! I'm sure that cpu can handle VT (indicated in the documents of cpu Intel laptop, and cpu is VT flags etc.), but the VT is just disabled by default in the BIOS and there is nothing to do.

    Hello

    Could you please put the link to the page that says that this laptop model supports the VT technology?
    It would be very interesting

    Usually, virtualization can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS. If the BIOS don't provide that option then it s a clear case of the VT can be not activated

    As you probably know Toshiba offer a wide range of portable models and offers different models P100.
    Maybe some media VT units and some don t.

  • HP Pavilion P6-2170 - support for virtualization?

    Should be safe in the BIOS as shown:
