Exhibit
Options
- AThe ESXi hosts are not licensed for EVC.
- BThe administrator does not have privileges to enable EVC.
- CThe ESXi host CPU has the Intel No-Execute feature disabled.
- DThe administrator has turned on Intel Virtualization Technology.
Explanation
EVC requires that certain CPU security features, including the Intel No-Execute (NX/XD) bit, be enabled in the host BIOS before the feature can be activated on a cluster.
Common mistakes.
- A. EVC is a vSphere feature included with standard vCenter licensing and does not require a separate per-host license to enable.
- B. A privilege error would produce a different message indicating insufficient permissions, not the CPU feature incompatibility error shown in the exhibit.
- D. Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) being turned on is a prerequisite for running VMs generally, not a cause of an EVC error; its absence, not presence, would cause issues unrelated to EVC.
