Running ESXi 5.5u2 under VirtualBox 5.0.40 improvements
Posted: 7. Dec 2017, 11:39
Hi,
I have managed to get ESXi 5.5u2 running under VirtualBox 5.0.40, by selecting Other/Other Linux64, 8GB RAM, 4 CPUs, PAE/NX, VT-x/AMD-V, Nested Paging, Paravirtualisation KVM, 500GB HDD, Bridged Adapter with Intel PRO/1000 T Server 82543GC.
Can the VirtualBox VM BIOS be changed to support Virtualisation as a option to allow it to be enabled?
Having managed to get ESXi to run, attempting to run any 32 or 64 bit VM results in ESXi complaining that the it is not running inside a compatible hypervisor.
When the the VirtualBox VM Bios is enhanced to offer virtualisation can the environment be enhanced to make it compatible with running ESXi.
