Summary:

good day, I wanted to try installing an ESXi on a virtual machine running in my HCI environment. At the first test, it refused to boot because the CPU was "not supported". I solved this enabling the ...

Please be advised that our current HCI version does not support the installation of ESXi.

- Check network adapter compatibility and ensure that the network adapter you have selected for the VM is compatible with ESXI.
- check network settings in VM and confirm that the network settings within VM are configured correctly.
- check ESXi compatibility and verify if the version you are trying to install is compatible with the virtual hardware and the hardware of your HCI.

Double-check the system requirements for the specific version of ESXi you are trying to install. Ensure that your virtual machine meets those requirements.

Ensure that the virtual machine has appropriate virtual disks and storage configured. ESXi requires a certain amount of disk space for installation.

Verify that the virtual machine's BIOS or UEFI settings are configured correctly, especially regarding virtualization extensions and other CPU features that ESXi requires.

After installing ESXi, make sure to install VMware Tools within the ESXi VM. VMware Tools includes drivers that improve VM performance and compatibility.

Running ESXi as a virtual machine involves nested virtualization. Ensure that your HCI platform supports nested virtualization, and the necessary virtualization features are enabled in the host's BIOS or UEFI settings.

Ensure that the virtual machine is connected to a virtual switch that is connected to a physical network adapter on the host. Verify that the physical network adapter is functioning correctly.

Instead of changing the network adapter type to E1000, consider using the VMXNET3 adapter, which is recommended for improved performance. Make sure to install VMware Tools after ESXi is installed to get the necessary drivers
