Please help me to get rid of this error so that I can able to install 64bit VMs inside vsphere.

Is there any other path to find vmware logs in Ubuntu

Waiting for reply .

add this lines to the vmx-file then it should work


monitor.virtual_mmu = "hardware"
monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware"
vhv.enable = "TRUE"
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"

or

Right click the VM in question and select "Settings".

Hardware Tab > Processors > Tick the option to enable VT-x/EPT or V/RVI > OK.

all the i3,i5,i5 are EPT capable
