Hi, could you help me please to solve my issue with run VM on ESXi which running on KVM? I have Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS ESX 6.0 vmware-201601001-3380124-iso Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.4.0 I try to run VM on EXSi which running under KVM. So, ESXi was successfull installed, the command in ps : qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -name esx -S -machine pc-i440fx-2.4,accel=kvm,usb=off -cpu Nehalem,+invpcid,+vmx -m 8096 -realtime mlock=off -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid b2c3b37b-9596-98ab-8e0d-f05df89d2920 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/esx.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -boot strict=on -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/esx-20.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw -device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1 -drive if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,fd=26,id=hostnet0 -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:96:74:1c,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -device cirrus-vga,id=video0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 But I always get error like : Virtualized INtel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform.
