Hello,
I'm trying to run a 64 bits linux guest in vmware workstation 8.0
This Vmware Workstation is installed on a Windows 7 64 bits (customer needs) virtual machine, running inside an ESXi 5.1 host
To summarize :
Dell Power Edge 2900 > ESXi 5.1 Host (with VT enabled in the BIOS) > Windows 7 64 bits VM > Vmware Workstation 8.x > 64 bits linux guest
I've read that since ESXi 5.1 and Workstation 8.x, nested VMs can be ran in 64 bits mode
Is the contrary (i.e running vmware workstation in ESXi ) also true ?
If yes, which VT parameter should I use ?
Of course, the tool mentionned here (and ran in the Windows 7 64 bits VM)
http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/processor_check_5_5_dt/dCpiQGhkYmRAZQ==
Gave me : "This host is NOT capable of running a 64-bit guest operating sstem under this VMware product..."
Any help greatly appreciated.
Rgds.
