EMC CIS Series 1 Pod Installation and Configuration Guide

4.2 Modify and Activate Virtual Machines

The following tasks must be performed prior to taking snapshots or assigning the virtual

machines to pods.

4.2.1 Modify Virtual Machines

Once the virtual machines are imported onto the host, change the CPU hardware

virtualization and the Network Interface Cards (NIC’s) MAC address via the VMware

vSphere Web Client interface. The following steps will guide you through the process.

1. In the vSphere Web Client interface, right-click on the imported virtual machine

and select Edit Settings.

2. If the virtual machine that you are editing is one of the nested hypervisors

(ESXi01 or ESXi02) you will need to expose hardware assisted virtualization to

the guest OS. This can be accomplished by clicking the *CPU menu tree to

expose the Hardware virtualization section and then checking the Expose

hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS check box.

If the checkbox is grayed-out, it is likely that you do not have hardware virtualization

enabled in the BIOS for your system or you may not be using a system with hardware

virtualization capabilities.
