[bace123w]

Hi ,

Can i install esxi5.x inside vmware workstation ? Presently i am using Probook 4410S and in that top of the windows 7 i can install Vmware workstation and inside that esxi5.x. Can i do same thing on Probook 6470B ?

Actually its a pre-purchase enquery.

Base OS is :- Windows 7 ultimate 64bit

Laptop Model :- 6470B

If any one can help me on that.

Thanks and Regards.

Virtualization Technology (VTx) is available and can be enabled in the BIOS.  That is the same option that is available in the 4410s, so you will have the same ability in the 6470b.

Hi Erico,

Thanks for your reply. you are right but after reading so many post in internet i realized that in bios there is another option "No execute memory protection" and due to that it will prevent esxi installation inside VM.

But if you are confirming 100% it will work and if possible you can test or you have tested , Please let me know. So based on that confirmation i will go and purchase. though 6475B is not available in India i will go for 6470B.

My soul purpose is Vmware training so if its not working after purchase then there will be no option for me. That's why i am looking for some kind of confirmation.

Please find below link for error with 6570b..

I see exactly what you are referring to.

You can use theMaintenance and Services Guide for each model to see what is available in the BIOS at the time the manual was printed.

I cannot give concrete advice on this because I do not have all models available, so I cannot verify exactly what settings are in the BIOS. Your question for these business models would be better served in the HP Business Enterprise Forum.  There are people in that forum who would have access to the model you have questions about.

Hi Erico,

Thank you. I have raised it to enterprise blog, so lets see if i am getting some reply or not.:smileyhappy:.

But before i am raising this concern to HP blog i have read Data sheet, Quickspec and service manual too but no where BIOS related screenshot or menu options are available.

I looked at the BIOS simultor screns in the partner media  and did not see the option as being available. The BIOS simulator only uses examples from a BIOS that may not be identical to the one in models released to market.
