Dears, I'm trying to setup a lab for Ovirt 4.2 on VMware ESXi 6.5. I checked "Expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS" and "Enable virtualized CPU performance counters" options to activate the nested virtualization. I installed Ovirt node and I try to setup a self hosted engine on it. All pre-configrations were done successfully. But when arriving to step "Running engine-setup on the appliance", the Hosted engine VM wouldn't start. I open the VM console, it stuck a bios level. It display the following : SeaBIOS (Version 1.10.2-3.el7_4.1) Machine UUID ced5025d-eec1-458a-991c-cc3bba9392dd Does anybody already encountered this issue? Is there any more parameters to set in the ESXi for it to work? Thanks for your help Regards,

It's been a while since I've used ESXi, but it's possible that the vSwitch must be in promiscuous mode. Have you tried other guests with the same configuration? On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 10:01 AM, Mustapha Aissat <aissat.mus@gmail.com> wrote:

Simone, any thoughts? Based on some old bugs, I suspect the machine type is incorrect (there's another bug about how the HE VM simply appears as "Linux"). Using pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0 is reported to work On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 10:26 AM, Staniforth, Paul < P.Staniforth@leedsbeckett.ac.uk> wrote:

I've had similar issue on Azure (Dv3/Ev3 hosts with nested virtualization support) with CentOS 7.4 and oVirt 4.1. libguestfs-test-tool wasn't working either though I was able to run a kernel directly with qemu-kvm. вт, 31 окт. 2017 г. в 23:07, Ryan Barry <rbarry@redhat.com>:
