Nested Virtualization & PCI Passthrough in VMware ESXi

 After ESXi 6.7, it is not able to configure nested virtualization and pci passthrough together in 1 VM.

To use the functions together, follow below steps:

1. Power off the VM

2. Unregester the VM

3. Download the .vmx file and backup 1 copy

4. Modify the .vmx, add:

vhv.allowPassthru = "TRUE"
vhv.enable = "TRUE"

5. Regester VM

6. DO NOT modify the VM setting anymore
