I installed a single nutanix CE node in a nested VMware VM but the CVM doesnt start.
The nested VM Option was checked when configuring the VM and the disk.EnableUUID parameter was set to TRUE. Allocated virtual Hardware: 10cores; 52GB RAM; 16+200+500GB drives
The installation was successfull, however the CVM wont start with the following errormessage:
error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2025-04-29T07:57:29.088493Z qemu-kvm: unable to map backing store for guest RAM: Cannot allocate memory
The xmldump shows the following:
<domain type='kvm'>

………
cat /proc/meminfo | grep Huge shows the following, in case that helps troubleshooting:
