Error in Migrating offline 64bit VM into different ESXi 4 host (Xeon – P4, Core2Duo,)

[albertwt]

Hi All,

I’m having problem in migrating offline VM from my ESXi 4.0 which is run on my Dell Server with Xeon 54xx series into Pentium 4 and Core 2 Duo Desktop running ESXi 4.0 u1 the error message is like the attached screenshot.

This is very strange as I was able to create new 64 bit VM from scratch in those “desktop” ESXi but when I migrate offline VM of the same OS it failed ?

For 32 bit VM this is not the problem, can anyone explains what may cause this problem ?

Note: I’ve enabled EM64T in the BIOS on certain Pentium D processor and Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU but it is still failed.

Thanks

Looks like it wants VT enabled. You should be able to enable it on the E8400 pc at least, have a look in the BIOS for it.

EMT64 is not enough, that is just the 64 bit extensions, you need the VT extensions enabled, the Pentium D will not support them so no x64 machines will run on it.

The bios on the 8400 desktop board may well not support enabling them despite the fact the E8400 supports VT extensions.
