Two ways to solve this:
- UPGRADE VMware 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 U-something and all behind > Project 2 days
- Change a CPUID Mask Flag
Here is what to change if you’re HAVE AMD Servers:
- Shutdown Server
- Edit Settings
- Options
- Advanced
Before change on AMD (Attention different settings for AMD and INTEL CPU)
INTEL:
—-:0—:—-:—-:—-:—-:—-:—-
AMD:
—-0—————————

Remark 12.02.2015
Under ESX 5.5.0 2068190 BOTH the INTEL and AMD Server show the FLAG AS as
“———–H——————–“
without the : (Doublodots). As exmaple on an INTEL XEON X5675, 3.07HGz CPU
On a ESX Server where we could select “Server 2012 X64” as new machine.
