This is not the best setup but is temporary as I plan to get off ESXi once I buy more hardware and then build more nodes then migrate to them. But in the meantime I decided to just setup my first node as a VM on my existing standalone ESXi server so any new VMs I create I can do them on Proxmox to avoid needing to convert them later.
So basically I have Proxmox 8.3 running in a VM on ESXi 5.5. I added vhv.enable = "TRUE" in the .vmx file and rebooted, but when I start a VM in Proxmox I still get this error:
"TASK ERROR: KVM virtualisation configured, but not available. Either disable in VM configuration or enable in BIOS."
There is no VT related setting in the ESXi VM's BIOS. Could it just be that this version of ESXi does not support doing this (it's very old) or is there something else I can try?
If I create a VM and run without the virtualisation support it will still run but at reduced performance. I can still enable it later once I get this on bare metal hardware right? Ex: I won't need to reinstall the OS or anything?
