Sounds like a no go for this server. I believe those particular netburst CPUs do not have the Intel VT feature. I believe you can run a 32bit guest OS under ESX3.x or ESXi3.x. Some quick googling; http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1239317150393+28353475&threadId=1271328 http://communities.vmware.com/thread/73300;jsessionid=FBAA0BF9189332B7EC7024B7C5DBC4A9?tstart=0&start=0 http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12028_div/12028_div.html specs for the server? My guess based on about 5 minutes of research is these are Irwindale or Nacoma xeon cpus. If you could locate the spec number, it would be easier to tell. Probably they are SL7ZF cpus, which appear to not support Intel VT, but do support Intel 64.

However the BIOS possibility is ruled out because I am able to install it directly. It is only on VMware ESX 3.5 as virtual machine its not working..!! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
