Disable VT-X for a VM

[Arnau97]

Hello guys, I recently installed on VMWare esxi 8 on a VM for testing it. When I create a VM inside ESXI8, a error message appears saying that "VT-X is not supported". How can I disable it for that VM?

Also, if you need more info, when installing it I used a boot argument ("AllowLegacyCPU=true"), because there was another error saying my CPU was not compatible with esxi

Hi,
it's the other way around, with the default CPU type, the CPU features for virtualization are not passed through to the vm. If this VM is only used for testing or doesn't need to be live migrated to a different server, you can just set its CPU type to host. This will pass on the CPU as is, including the VT-X features.
