Nested Virtualization Setup
I am looking to setup nested virtualization.. I'm pretty new to nested virtualization and vSpheres networking
I was reading that enabling 'Promiscuous Mode' may have an impact on the rest of the environment. Is there a way to setup a nested host without enabling the promiscuous mode, or is there a way to isolate it in the same environment by adding it to a new port group on a new vSwitch with promiscuous mode enabled, would that prevent performance issues?
Help/Suggestions always appreciated

Issue setting 'options kvm ignore_msrs=1' for nested 64-bit VMs
Hi,
I am having issues running 64-bit VMs on a nested ESXi 6.7 host running on KVM (Ubuntu 16.04.6 EVE-NG).
I believe the fix is to enable 'options kvm ignore_msrs=1' on the main Ubuntu machine.
I have tried adding 'options kvm ignore_msrs=1' in various places, including:
/etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf
But after a reboot I still see:
root@eve-ng:~# cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs
N
I can set it to 'Y' with:
root@eve-ng:~# echo 1 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs
root@eve-ng:~# cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs
Y
But it doesn't survive a reboot.
Any suggestions? Thanks
P.S. I am running KVM on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS.

in an Azure standard offering the setup of ESXi fails with no network adapter found
I'm tinkering around with a nested virtualization setup, ESXi on Azure, and need help.
The ESXi setup starts, however, it fails with No Network adapter.
I didn't found for affordable home lab purposes any ipmi/bmc/iDRAC/iLO/kubernetesified baremetal-as-a-service offerings. The hardware Azure VM size used is a Standard_E4s_v3 offering. The automated provisioning scripts so far are documented at GitHub - dcasota/vesxi-on-azure-scripts. The netword card presented is a Mellanox Technologies MT27500/MT27520 Family [ConnectX-3/ConnectX-3 Pro Virtual Function] [15b3:1004].
In reference to https://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=29&mtag=vmware_driver (click on View the list of the latest VMware driver version for Mellanox products) the nic type ConnectX-3 is not officially supported on any VMware ESXi release. From a OEM perspective, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/create-vm-accelerated-networking-powershell describes for an Azure Windows Server VM the use of the ConnectX-3 Ethernetadapter. Hence, it could be possible to get/make nic functionality for an Azure ESXi VM as well.
Using the Azure Standard_E4s_v3 offering, the no network adapter issue occurs with
- native ESXi image, latest 6.0, 6.5, 6.7
- customized ESXi 6.0 image using
- older Mellanox driver MEL-mlnx-3.15.5.5-offline_bundle-4038025.zip and MLNX-OFED-ESX-1.8.2.5-10EM-600.0.0.2494585.zip
- customized ESXi 6.5 image using
- a recipe description of removing first the softwarepackages net-e1000e, net-mlx4-en, net-mlx4-core, nmlx4-core, nmlx4-en, nmlx4-rdma and
adding afterwards the Mellanox ConnectX-3 offline bundle 3.16.11.10, and the net-tulip driver, too.
syslinux.cfg and boot.cfg were modified to use the advanced settings iovDisableIR=TRUE ignoreHeadless=TRUE noIOMMU noipmiEnabled
See setup output protocol attached: The Mellanox network adapter wasn't loaded (follow-up issues lvmdriver failed to load & nfs41client failed to load).
Any study work suggestions?

Nested LAB ESXI: License
Hi,
I have downloaded the OVA files from William, referenced in this document
https://blogs.vmware.com/services-education-insights/files/2019/02/Nest-Lab-Tech-Doc-2.6.pdf
However there is no trial license attached to it, how can i get a trial license for this appliance?
I already registered for Trial license but here i can only download the images with key include i assume.
Can't i get a real license trial key somewhere.
Kind regards,

vsphere home lab hardware--CPU discussion
Hi all ITers,
i am looking for a new intel platform hardware to play some vmware home labs at home.
currently, my home workstation hardware configurations are: intel Xeon E3-1230v3 with 32 GB DDR memory(non-ecc), because of motherboard limit, i can only run 32G memory, so i decide to upgrade my workstation.
my question is, i have checked intel desktop CPU specifications on intel website, and i found that the new intel i7 gen 9 CPUs are all non-hyperthreading supported, at the same time, because of budget, i don't want to purchase an i9 CPU, what i am concerning is about the non-hyperthreading feature.
in my home lab environment, i will run about 8~12 VMs, so the very non-hyperthreading will limit my lab environment buildup???

Very Slow Performance
Hi All,
I am experiencing an extreme slow performance. The nested virtual machine stay stuck up to 02 minutes to power on. (VMware Screen).
My hardware is a dual 6 core 2.10 GHz Intel. (Total 24 lcpus)
I am using latest stable build from ESXi 5.1.
There is no vms or load in nested ESXi, the first virtual machine windows 2003 server 32 bit takes up to 10 minutos to start installation. The installation completes with no errors.
Any ideias for this extreme slow performance??
I attached the screenshot of VMware screen that nested vms stay delayed up to 02 minutes.
Thanks in advance, Emanoel (VCP-DCV)

Support for nested virtualization on AMD Ryzen 3000
Good Morning,
I searched the forums for information about Ryzen AMD's support for nested virtualization.
In several places it is reported that it is not supported and Microsof regarding hyper-V only supports Intel cpu Nested Virtualization | Microsoft Docs .
Does VMware Workstation support nested virtualization on AMD Ryzen 3000 cpu? Official VMware documents or answers that report something about it?
Thanks in advance for your reply

Nested ESXi lab, mac learning enabled, slow vMotion
Hello,
I've built a 3 nested ESXi 6.7 hosts lab out of an HP z420 with 128 GB of RAM and a E5-2640.
I'm not particularly interested in tuning my lab for high performance, my objective is to maintain my sysadmin skills and learn new ones.
However, after vmotioning my VCSA from one host to another, I noticed that the vMotion speed was not really close to what I would expect. Speed is not terrible but I'm just wondering how come I'm not achieving more than 3.5 Gb/s ?
As far as I understand, the data that is being moved around in a nested vMotion job resides in the RAM of my physical host so it there should be not bottleneck at that level.
My nested ESXi host VMs are configured with the standard VMXNET 3 adapter. Within ESXi, vmnics are configured in 10 Gbit/s, Full Duplex. The vMotion VMkernel is attached to a dvswitch where mac learning is enabled. And the underlying network with the ESXi VMs is also also attached to a dvswitch with mac learning enabled.
Why am I not getting close to the max speed of 10 Gbit/s when I vMotion?

Nested, dvfilter-maclearn and agent API docs
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a lab on an ESXi box runing nested ESXis to play with NSX and PaloAlto FW.
(play as in learning setup
In so doing, I'm discovering the dvfilter-maclearn fling which is great to minimize the impact of nested on the networking virtualization.
But it is geting hard to understand some issues, and I don't find documentation on the working of the features used.
(Issue being, e.g., that a VM is getting TX filtered by an sfw filter that NSX is not controling)
Also, the fling says to use filter4 but that hook is the one Panorama (Palo Alto Networks controller) uses for its FW Agents.
I would appreciate any pointers/string ends to start pulling

Nested vDS with LLDP
I am trying to build a lab environment and I am using a nested setup. One of the requirements is to have a vDS which can send LLDP packets.
I have enabled LLDP on the nested vDS however the adapters on the nested host state "Link Layer Discovery Protocol is not available on this physical network adapter". I have tried both the VMXNET3 and E1000E adapters on the nested host without success.
Does anyone know if what I am trying is even possible?
Thanks,

Failed to run KVM/QEMU under VMware Fusion
I am running a Fedora 32 VM in VMware Fusion Professional Version 11.5.3.
I then configure a VM in Boxes (front end for KVM/QEMU) in Fedora and it fails to start. Initially it said hardware virtualization not found. So then I went into the settings in VMware Fusion and enabled nesting (VT-x/EPT inside this virtual machine).
But now it fails to start. In the log file I see:-
2020-05-03 01:47:53.464+0000: Domain id=2 is tainted: host-cpu

2020-05-03 01:47:54.154+0000: shutting down, reason=failed
Can anyone help?
I can run ESXi 7.0 no problem under VMware Fusion. So I assume that KVM/QEMU should also work.
Thanks!

Dell PowerEdge 6525 with ESX 7.0.0 attempting Nested ESX results in HARDWARE_VIRTUALIZATION warning
Hi,
I recently installed a Dell 6525 (Dual AMD Epyc 7302 16 Core CPUs, 128GB and 8TB Storage) and successfully installed ESX 6.7.0U3a, ESX 7.0.0 and Dell customised ESX 7.0.0 without any problems.
Normal VMs operate quickly, however when I create a VM ESX instance using ESX 6.7.0U3a, ESX 7.0.0 or the Dell customised ESX 7.0.0 I get the following error message
<HARDWARE_VIRTUALIZATION WARNING: Hardware Virtualization is not a feature of the CPU, or is not enabled in the BIOS>
Can I edit this VM ESX instance to add the feature to the CPU or does VMware need to issue a patch?
Doh! Selecting the CPU and choosing to expose hardware assisted virtualization to host os resolved the warning.

Virtualization Intel VT-xEPT it not supported on this plataform.
I currently have one of Dell's most powerful notebook, an E7300 latitude with Intel i7-8665U processor, 32 GB of memory and 512 SSD disk.
I bought the latest version 16 of VMWare Workstation to run on this machine with Windows 10 Pro. I need to install Hyper-V on a Windows Server 2019 Virtual Machine with Nested Virtualization.
All BIOS virtualization options are already enabled. I mark the option "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI" in the VM processor properties. But when trying to connect the virtual machine I get the following message :
"Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this plataform. Continue without virtualized Intel VT-xEPT?
I can't believe this machine doesn't support this.
