At [0]:
Q: Can I run multiple bhyve hosts under VMware nested VT-x EPT?
A: Yes, but you must enable [1] it: look for the GUI or vhv.allow or
vhv.enable options
At [1]:
Virtualized HV is available for virtual hardware version 8 VMs on hosts
that support Intel VT-x and EPT or AMD-V and RVI, but it cannot be
selected through the user interface. To enable virtualized HV, edit the
outer guest's configuration file by hand and add the following line:
vhv.enable = TRUE
If you read [0] further, there are answers about Linux KVM, VirtualBox
and Hyper-V. The latter two does not support VT-x EPT.
You may want to ask the VM hosting people about their implementation and
configuration.
