Hey guys
Running vSphere 6.0.0 u3
ESXi host in question is 6.0.0 u3
Server: ProLiant DL360 Gen10
NIC: HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 562SFP+ Adapter
I'm trying to enable DirectPath i/o to passthru the NIC through to the VM.
I have used the vsphere client to add the correct vmnic under Host > Configuration > Advanced Settings > DirectPath i/o Configuration. I see the message "This device is running in passthrough mode"
Great! So far so good....
Next, on the VM settings, I have added the PCI device, and as expected, the NIC appears there and I can add it successfully and save.
However when I switch on the VM, I receive the following message: The virtual machine cannot be powered on because virtual nested paging is not compatible with PCI passthru in VMware ESX 6.0.0.
Any advise welcome and much appreciated.
Thanks
