Does the PowerEdge 2850 BIOS Support Virtualization Technology?
Hi,
We are currently running VMWare ESX server on a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with an Intel Xeon processor and we need to run 64bit guest OS machines, however to do this we need to enable the Virtualization technology.
Is it possible to do this on 2850s, if so where abouts is the option?
I've looked in some of the usual places such as "Security" and "Performance Settings" within the BIOS but couldn't find anything which stood out as the correct option :emotion-42:
Thanks for your help in advance,
Gregg

No. I dont think 2850 supports 64bit OS. Check the document at "VMware VMotion and 64-Bit Virtual Machine Compatibility Matrix for
VMware Infrastructure 3 and Dell PowerEdge Systems" http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/eslvmwre/.
