There used to be a special hack/patch because esxi checks if its running
on qemu. Don't know about recent esx(i) and qemu thought. Might give you
a handle to search for if you can't get it to work.

I don't know about ESXi 5.5, but I was just recently able to run Hyper-V 
under oVirt.  Look for my thread on "Hyper-V in a guest".  I did have to 
reboot the host for the module parameters to take effect when all was 
said and done.


Basically, you install 'vdsm-nestedvt' on your hosts. It should be in 
the repos for your distro, if you are running CentOS6 or above.


Once installed, reboot your host, as there is a parameter that needs to 
get passed to the kvm_* module when it loads to allow nested KVM.


Once you have rebooted, go to your Hosts tab and look in :Host Hooks"; 
you should see something like this:


before_vm_start  50_nestedvt

I hope this helps.

Alan
