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.

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.

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

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

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

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

- 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.

Good day everyone. I am trying to run ESXi 8u2 as a Virtual Machine.

As stated in the original post, I activated the setting "Use CPU from host". But the ESXi does not install because it says "no network adapter present" (see attachet screenshot nonet.jpg).

I switched the eth0 type from Realtek to E1000, with no effect. I don't have any E1000E or other available (see 1.jpg)
ESXi8u2 contains the community driver (previously Fling) for E1000 adapters.

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

You should try with older Esxi version, that support e1000. Version 8.x, 7.x and 6.7 up is e1000e what is different.
