Add function to vmx file tutorial
In order to booting VMware ESX server virtual machine, we need to add extra function to the vmx configuration file.
By adding ethernet0.VirtualDev= "e1000" we change the default network card to intel e1000. and make sure connection is bridged by adding
ethernet0.connectionType="bridged" and ethernet0.addressType= "generated".
by adding monitor_control.restrict_backdoor= "TRUE" and monitor_control.vt32= "TRUE" we restrict back door capable ties.
We must have an Intel-VT or AMD-V chip
For Intel VT CPUs:
monitor_control.vt32= "TRUE"
For AMD-V CPUs:
monitor_control.enable_svm= "TRUE"

As a reminder, Intel and AMD use two diffrent kind of virtualazation technology(VT and SVM), for the ones that use AMD cpus in the last line replace:
monitor_control.vt32 = TRUE withmonitor_control.enable_svm = TRUE otherwise you will have a very slow ESX boot.
have fun,
