I've had a good look around and I cant find a definitive answer to this. I'm trying to run a VMware player inside ESXi 3.5 and the OS I am trying to run requires hardware virtualization. I have an Intel Xeon CPU which supports VT-x but I don't get an option to enable virtualization in the default PhoenixBIOS that comes with ESXi. Is there a way to force VT-x on or can I update the bios of the host VM to have that option? I have tried various things including:
vhv.allow = TRUE
monitor.virtual_exec = hardware
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUE
monitor_control.vt32 = TRUE
any ideas?
Thanks
