I have changed hypervisor of my openstack(Grizzly) to vmware esxi.
When I create an Ibuntu in openstack dashboard, it works well and I can see the instance in esxi, but when I created a Windows 7 instance, 'blue screen' occurs.
Most likely disk driver issues. Go to your ESXi host directly, create a new Win7 VM (No need to install Windows, just the VM creation). Check the disk controller (LSI Logic???) and compare this to the VM that is created by Openstack.

I want to use VMware Workstation 15.5.1 to install VMware vSphere ESXi 7 on one VM.
I am using virtual network adaptor which works on my other windows VMs on my vmware workstation( such as AD, and ... ).
I want to install VMware vSphere ESXi 7, and I am getting bellow error :
“No network adapters were detected. Either no network adapters are physically connected to the system, or a suitable driver could not be located. A third party driver may be required.
Ensure that there is at least one network adapter physically connected to the system before attempting installation. If the problem persists, consult the VMware Knowledge Base.”enter image description here
WHY CANNOT I INSTALL ESXi ON VMWARE WORKSTATION?
HOW CAN I ADD MY NETWORK CARD DRIVER TO MY ISO FILE?
I really appreciate if you have any idea on this problem. I am really stuck!!!
There's an issue with the network adapter type being used for some reason. You can change the E1000 adapter to VMXNet3 to resolve the issue.
Alternatively, VMware does provide a pre-built OVA template for situations like this. The 7.0 version is available at the following: link
Windows:
Now, I want to install a VMWare Workstation on the Windows Google Cloud Platform instance and next install another OS on that VMWare Workstation.
But I get this BSOD.
Linux:
Now, I want to install a VMWare Workstation on the Linux Google Cloud Platform instance and next install another OS on that VMWare Workstation.
But I get this error.
This host supports intel VT-x. but the Intel VT-x implementation is incompatible.
This host does not support Intel EPT hardware assisted MMU virtualization.
Module "CPUIDEarly" power on failed.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
How can I do it?
I agree with Martin that you may not want to run VMware workstation, but you may need nested virtualization for other stuff like VMware ESXi/qemu.
GCE VMs do support nested virtualization please see Enabling Nested Virtualization for VM Instances on how to do it. This will enable VT-x support inside the VM.
It is rather useless to install a type 2 (hosted) hypervisor inside a GCE virtual machine.
There are a) other options for VMware hosting or b) migrate these containers with Velostrata.
c) That one error message (assuming you'd go the proposed nested virtualization route) might require monitor.allowLegacyCPU = "true" in file config.ini, because it seems the CPU is not supported by VMware Workstation 14 (this at least works for some elder Intel® Xeon® CPU).
I don't have ESXi inhouse, but am building a VM for a customer and they have two environments, an ESXi5.5 deployment and a 6.7.
At the moment I'm only able to export to an OVF/OVA format, which (for my customer) has worked in their 6.7 environment as I've downloaded the (Linux) version of Workstation 15 and am wondering how on earth I get to export the VM for ESX5.5. The VMware forums and online help don't seem to have been updated for Workstation 15 as they refer to a wizard which isn't available in the version of Workstation 15 that I have (only available in the paid version?)
I've also downloaded the VMware vCenter Converter (Windows version, standalone) as I was under the impression that that would be able to do convert anything to anything and therefore do what I needed, but it will only allow me to export to a 5.5 ESXi server within my environment, which I don't have.
What I'm looking at doing is building a VM that can be used in any ESXi environment, so I guess I should ask: what really is the best tool for me to be able to do that, considering that I don't have ESXi deployed here and am using VMWare Workstation and VirtualBox.
I had hoped that OVA/OVF would be a standard, and perhaps that's correct for newer VMWare Type I hypervisors?
My assumption is that you're running into an issue where the VM of a specific hardware version cannot be imported to the 5.5 environment. Each version of vSphere has a compatible hardware version, they're listed here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-64D4B1C9-CD5D-4C68-8B50-585F6A87EBA0.html
To downgrade an existing VM's hardware, you can manually create a new (custom) VM in Workstation and when asked for the Virtual Disk, point to the existing disks you have already created. Additional information: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1028019
I have a project that requires me to create an esxi server within VirtualBox. Upon creation of the esxi server, i seem to run into the error below when i try to power on a newly created VM within the esxi.
Any idea how to get around this? The VirtualBox infrastructure is running on 2014 macbook pro which supports virtualization.
Have you enabled VT-x option
That's under System > Acceleration > Hardware virtualization
I have a window7 (32 bit) machine. I installed Virtual Box and created a VM (Windows 2012 {64bit} with enabled VT-x/AMD-V,Nested Paging).
I want to enable Hyper-V on this VM any Idea?
I tried following links but not working for me:
Link1
Link2
but in my case I am using Virtual Box.
How can I enable Hyper-V feature?
Do you want to expose VT-x/AMD-V to the guest system in the VM so it can run Hyper-V inside VM? As far as I know, VirtualBox does not support it, but VMWare does, even in their free VMWare Player.
I have been running Windows Phone 8 emulator in VMWare Player without problems. Yes, it required manual editing of .vmx file, but is works reliably and without any problems at all.
If you decide to give VMWare Player a try, make sure you have VT-x/AMD-V available and enabled on your physical host computer. Then add the following setting to your VMWare machine:
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
mce.enable = "TRUE"
and you should be able to start Hyper-V inside your VM.
For more information, see these links:

and some useful topics on VirtualBox forums which explain why the feature is not available on VirtualBox:

I really miss this feature on VirtualBox because I find VMWare Player to be bloated and it slows the host system down much more than VirtualBox does.
