Read and learn from here: How to run Nested Virtualization on a Mac
Link is this: https://graspingtech.com/nested-virtualization-mac/
Nested virtualization lets you run a virtual machine inside a virtual machine, and it’s very useful for testing apps. This guide will show you how to do it on a Mac.
Software for this installation:
Reference tutorial: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/vmx/topics/topic-map/vmx-installing-on-vmware.html
Tony helped me a lot. He is the one that also publish a lot of useful article in his blog GRASPINGTECH
Maximum Minimum Hardware Requirements for VMware
A. Number of cores
B. Memory
C. Storage
vMX Package Contents
Configuration
Step 1. Download the vMX software package for VMware: vmx-bundle-esxi-20.1R1.11.tar
Step 2. Launch the VMware ESXi server, esxi00.silvique.ro, and log in to the server with your credentials.
Step 3. If using Dropbox make sure the files needed are totally active
Step 4. Setting Up the Network
In VMware ESXi, to set up the different networks for management (br-ext), internal connection of the VMs (br-int), and WAN ports for data:
4.1. Virtual Switch Configuration
4.2. Port groups Configuration
4.3. Note: I made a discovery opening vMX in SSH using ssh root@172.25.11.3 command
murgescusilvia@Murgescus-MacBook-Pro ~ % ssh root@172.25.11.3 Password: Last login: Fri May 15 00:30:49 2020 --- JUNOS 20.1R1.11 Kernel 64-bit JNPR-11.0-20200219.fb120e7_buil root@vMX:~ # cli root@vMX> show interfaces terse | match ge- ge-0/0/0 up up ge-0/0/0.16386 up up ge-0/0/1 up up ge-0/0/1.16386 up up ge-0/0/2 up down ge-0/0/2.16386 up down ge-0/0/3 up down ge-0/0/3.16386 up down ge-0/0/4 up down ge-0/0/4.16386 up down ge-0/0/5 up down ge-0/0/5.16386 up down ge-0/0/6 up down ge-0/0/6.16386 up down ge-0/0/7 up down ge-0/0/7.16386 up down ge-0/0/8 up down ge-0/0/8.16386 up down ge-0/0/9 up down ge-0/0/9.16386 up down
Only ge-0/0/0 and ge-0/0/1 are up up. All other networks are up down. You have to create other Port group networks to put more in up up. For example, the total number o network creation in VM is p2p3-ge.vMX to maximum p2p8-ge.vMX
root@vMX> show interfaces terse | match ge- ge-0/0/0 up up ge-0/0/0.16386 up up ge-0/0/1 up up ge-0/0/1.16386 up up ge-0/0/2 up up ge-0/0/2.16386 up up ge-0/0/3 up up ge-0/0/3.16386 up up ge-0/0/4 up up ge-0/0/4.16386 up up ge-0/0/5 up up ge-0/0/5.16386 up up ge-0/0/6 up up ge-0/0/6.16386 up up ge-0/0/7 up up ge-0/0/7.16386 up up ge-0/0/8 up down ge-0/0/8.16386 up down ge-0/0/9 up down ge-0/0/9.16386 up down
! At the moment I do not know how to make all ge interfaces, including ge-0/0/8 and ge-0/0/9, up up. I will search a solution when I will needed.
Step 5. Deploying the VCP VM
To deploy the VCP VM using .ova files:
Step 6. Deploying the FPC VM
To deploy the FPC VM using .ova files:
After you have deployed the vVCP and vFPC VMs, you can modify the amount of memory, the number of vCPUs, and the number of WAN (here vmnic2) ports.
Step 7. Settings for the vVCP VM
Step 8. Settings for the vFPC VM
Not mandatory but you can add more networks:
Step 9. Launching vMX on VMware
Now you are ready to launching vMX on VMware. The firs basic configuration is the following:

To copy and paste a config from a text file. Use the CTRL-D or ^D option to exit the terminal mode and return to the firewall prompt.

Below is an example: two logical-systems with 2 difference interfaces, ge-0/0/1.12 and ge-0/0/5.12 and the ping command for testing works

Sometime work sometime does not work ….
Step 1. Reading VMware documentation to trying to solve the problem:
From here https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2009642?lang=en_US I’ve dome this and restart the MacBook PRO :
sudo rm -f "Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/networking" sudo rm -f "Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/locations" sudo "/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli" -c
The problem is still there. Not solve it!
Step 2 . Ideas receive from a fried and apply it => Solved the problem! OK!!
Change network from 10.1..1.251 to 10.1.1.2 and very and test Internet connection
2.0. Make sure pfSense is powered pff
2.1. Inside ESXi terminal
[root@esxi00:~] esxcfg-route VMkernel default gateway is 10.1.1.2 [root@esxi00:~] esxcli network ip dns server list DNSServers: 10.1.1.2 [root@esxi00:~] ping google.com PING google.com (216.58.212.142): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 216.58.212.142: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=52.287 ms 64 bytes from 216.58.212.142: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=53.458 ms 64 bytes from 216.58.212.142: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=53.811 ms --- google.com ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 52.287/53.185/53.811 ms [root@esxi00:~]
2.2. For internal CentOS VM inside ESXi_00 I change external ip to 10.1.1.50/25 and 10.1.1.2 and it works OK.
2.3. For pfSense in Vmware Fusion I do not modify anything, but ping works ok.
All are connected to Network > Custom > Allow using NAT
Problem: Increase the size of a ESXi Virtual Disk
I wasn’t able to find a solution and mad it work!
Thing an other solution:
Step 1. Migrate a Virtual Machine to New Storage in the vSphere Web Client
Step 2. Remove a Virtual Hard Disk from a Virtual Machine
Now imposible to power on!
The solution is to install a new ESXi and all VM that I’ve lost!
This page inspire me: https://linuxhint.com/install_centos8_vmware_esxi_server/
Note: This version is without GUI. If needed chose Server with GUI.
The inspiration is very good. I have some differences and I will put here.
Difference:
All other are exactly as in the helping blog.
Theoretically:
The License show Usage 4 CPUs and Capacity 6 CPUs
VM ESXi esxi00.silvique.ro has Evaluation License
When open Assign License show it is possible because the Usage 4 CPUs and Capacity 6 CPUs
Choose ESXi Licensing. Then the Usage change to 8 CPUs and impossible to click OK
Important information:
The License is based on 6 CPUs capacity NOT on 6 ESXi VM.
If you use ESXi’s with 2 CPUs then you can do this using maximum of 3 ESXi’s meaning a total of 6 CPUs capacity for the license. If you want to use ESXi with 4 CPUs, then a licence accepts only one ESXi with 2 CPUs.
Now it is more clear for me!
I try to install VM into the VMware ESXi.
Before this I have added a new Hard Disk into VMware Fusion end the configure Storage Datastore into VMware ESXi.
Now I want to install a VM and I get an error:
– The vm configuration was rejected. Please see Browser console
– Failed to create virtual machine vm. The operation is not allowed in the current state.
The answer I find on internet including the solution: “check the vmware state.. if it is in maintenance mode means you are not able to create virtual machine… keep the vmware on normal state.”
I solved this problem!!!

Device and Applications:
Details from reading and learning installation here:
Download Junos Space files
I this moment the last versions:
Overview
You can deploy the Junos Space Virtual Appliance *.ova file on a VMware ESXi server version 5.5, 6.0, or 6.5. Basic I have ESXi 6.7 but into installation step maybe I can modify to 6.0.
After the Junos Space Virtual Appliance is deployed, you can use the VMware vSphere client or Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to connect to the VMware ESXi server and configure the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.
The minimum hardware requirements for deploying a Junos Space Virtual Appliance are as follows:
Installing a Junos Space Virtual Appliance on a VMware ESXi Server
Login ESXi, mine name is esxi00. Go to Virtual Machine > Create/Register VM and click Deploy a virtual machine from an OVF or OVA file. Then Next
Enter a name as jSpace-1-20.1R1.2. I needed an other version to install and I use the name jSpace-2-19.4R1.3. Find in MacBook and chose space-19.4R1.3.ova file. Click Next
Chose the datastore where jSpace will be installed
Please untag the Power on Automatically and you will si way … Click Next
Verify that all is correctly and click Finish
Failed to Power On. I mine case some modification have to be done before powering on.
Down in Recent Tasks you will see and wot to finish to complete. After finished go further.
Go to Virtual Machine > jSpace-1-20.1R1.2. This si default
Virtual Machine > jSpace-2-19.4T1.3
Click Edit
