I’m trying to run vCenter Server Appliance in a nested ESXi 5.1 64bit environment.
When starting the vCenter Server Appliance it fails with:
This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
This host does not support VT. For more detailed information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152.
My setup is:
Hardware Intel Serverboard S1200BTS
Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 3.30GHZ CPU
(This processor does support VT + EPT)
BIOS Intel VT is enabled
Intel VT for directed IO is enabled
Latest BIOS version
HW-ESXI 5.1 vhv.allow = “TRUE” is set
VM-ESXi 5.1 CPU/MMU Virtualization - Intel VT + EPT enabled
vCenter Server Appliance was installed with the VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.1.0.5200-880472_OVF10.ova file.
What am I missing here?
