First of all you have to mentioned what CPU, If Intel new generation CPU then follow below steps.

Loging to vsphere web client, stop the EVE-NG VM.
Edit settings and CPU, enable as mentioned below screen shot.

Hi Guys,

I have the same Power Edge 1950 with 2 Xeon E5410 that´s not has support for Interl VT

But you can use this server to run EVE-NG in 2 case bellow(it´s work for me)

1 - Install Ubuntu and install VMware Workstation and run EVE ovf
2 - Install eve as bare metal installation, it´s works fine two

I tried to use EVE-NG with Esxi 5.0/5.5/6.0/6.5 and don´t work.

Tks!
