When you’re trying to run 64-bit hosts on a virtualized ESXi host you may get the following error:
.F GTVM32-v500-build0151-FORTINET.out.ovf.zip image f ound in t he v5.0 Patch Release 2 directory is specific to the FortiGate VM 32-bit environment. I experienced the same problem while trying to install a 64-bit version of Linux Mint inside VirtualBox. I opened VirtualBox, clicked on NEW, entered a name for the virtual machine, choose the type of operating system, but when I wanted to choose a version, I only saw 32-bit versions and NO 64-bit versions as an option. I run Windows Server 2003 32-bit as a Guest in VirtualBox on my 64-bit Windows Vista OS. I have a Core i7 CPU and 6GB of RAM. Mostly what is emulated by VM software is the physical devices and memory management functions.
Power On virtual machine ***
The virtual machine requires hardware features that are unsupported or disabled on the target host: *
Longmode : required for 64-bit guest OS support. On Intel systems, longmode requires VT- x to be enabled in the BIOS. On nested virtual ESX hosts, longmode support normally requires upgrading your VM to ESX 5.1 compatibility level (VM version 9) and enabling the “Virtualized Hardware Virtualizati- on” flag on the outer VM.
For incompatibil- ities other than NX/XD or longmode : if possible, use a cluster with Enhanced vMotion Compatibili- ty (EVC) enabled; see KB article 1003212.
CPUID details: incompatibil- ity at level 0x80000001 register ‘edx’ . Host bits: 0000:1000:- 0001:0000:- 0000:1000:- 0000:0000 Required: xx1x:xxxx:- xxxx:xxxx:x- xxx:xxxx:xx- xx:xxxx
To make it works follos steps below:
1.Open vCenter server using vSphere Web client and Power off your Nested ESXi host
2. Open datastore which placed on Virtual Nested ESXi host and download .vmx file on your computer.
3. Edit .vmx file and add vhv.enable = “TRUE” to .vmx file.
32 Bit Vm On 64 Bit Hosting
4. Upload edited .vmx file to datastore and power on Virtual Nested ESXi host.
Can I Run 64 Bit Vm On 32 Bit Host
32 Bit Vm Auf 64 Bit Host
After that you will be able to power on VMs.
