How to enable Hyper-V in 2012 Server on Fusion 5?

Dear Forum members,

 

I have a Mac Pro Early 2008 Intel Xeon, 16GB running Snow Leopard and VMWare Fusion 5 installed, plus a couple of virtual machines running flawlessly. I decided to create another virtual machine running Windows 2012 Server. The installation went smoothly. However, when I tried to enable Hyper-V I got into trouble.

 

In Virtual Machine Settings > System Settings > General: I selected "Hyper-V (unsupported)"

In Processor and Memory I selected 4 cores, 4 GB, and in Advanced: Enable hypervisor applications...

In Other/Advanced: Preferred Virtualization Engine: Intel VT-x with EPT

 

and all possible permutations of these selections. Nothing worked.

 

Error messages:

Hyper-V cannot be installed. The processor does not have the required virtualization capabilities.

Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform.

Preferred mode unavailable. Using VT-x instead. This host does not support EPT.

 

All this leads me to believe that my hardware configuration does not support the running of hyper-v virtual machines in Fusion. Depending on your philosophy one can consider this to be a fact of life: not everything is always possible. However, what drives me nuts are the guys on the internet blogs telling everyone that it works on their system! I would like to hear from an authoritative voice whether this can be done, or not.

 

Thanks in advance
