or with the e1000 nic:

# virt-install --connect=qemu:///system -n esxi6 --cpu=host --vcpus=2
--ram 4096 --os-type=linux
--cdrom=/var/lib/libvirt/images/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0-2494585.x86_64.iso



--disk
path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/esxi6.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=ide,size=25,cache=none



--hvm --network=default,model=e1000 --virt-type=kvm --arch=x86_64
--graphics spice --accelerate --video qxl --channel spicevmc



Many thanks Patrick for your valuable help!!. I've found the problem:
removing my <cpu> entries and adding "<cpu mode='host-passthrough'>",
works...

But in my case, I can't assign vmxnet3 as a virtual nic for ESXi, it
seems is not supported at this time ...

Have you tried installing with the e1000 nic (the second virt-install
command)?

Cheers,
Patrick

Yes, with e1000, works ok.

That's good to hear. If you are going to install vCenter below is the link to the vCenter CIP (browser plugin). IIRC Google Chrome seems the only supported Linux x86_64 browser. The plugin requires flash 11.5 which rules out Firefox because there is only flash 11.2 for Linux from Adobe.

$ wget -v http://vsphereclient.vmware.com/vsphereclient/1/8/8/7/2/7/0/VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.x86_64.bundle
$ chmod +x VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.x86_64.bundle
$ ./VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.x86_64.bundle

Version 5.5.0 of the plugin seems no longer available from the vmware site but is available here:

https://download.iseage.org/vmware-plugin/

HTH,
Patrick
