Hello.
I've tryied to searching not only the forum but also on internet.
I'm trying to build a lab with esxi 5.0 servers (only a couple, a vcenter) on a already cluster of vSphere 4.1 upd2 development farm (Amd Opteron 8218 under EVC Amd Opteron 2).
I've also tryied the general suggestion of nested hypervisors
- New vm type RedHat 5 64bits
- Hardware virtualization for AMD-V and AMD RVI
- Even add vhv.allow = “TRUE” at the /etc/vmware/config on all the physical esxi 4.0 on the cluster
- Check the md5sum of the ESXi 5.0 upd 1 iso
When I try to install the ESXi 5.0 upd 1, the guest vm:
- Warn a lack of hardware virtualization (well, at this first stage I will not run nested vm, only the hypervisor)
- Fail with error doing the vmfs volume on the internal disk (I put a new virtual disk even with 16Gb, I think it is more than enough)... ????
"Could not format an vmfs volume... Command ... vmkfstools ... Exited with status 1048320... Reboot"
