Dell PowerEdge 6525 with ESX 7.0.0 attempting Nested ESX results in HARDWARE_VIRTUALIZATION warning

Hi,

I recently installed a Dell 6525 (Dual AMD Epyc 7302 16 Core CPUs, 128GB and 8TB Storage) and successfully installed ESX 6.7.0U3a, ESX 7.0.0 and Dell customised ESX 7.0.0 without any problems.

Normal VMs operate quickly, however when I create a VM ESX instance using ESX 6.7.0U3a, ESX 7.0.0 or the Dell customised ESX 7.0.0 I get the following error message

<HARDWARE_VIRTUALIZATION WARNING: Hardware Virtualization is not a feature of the CPU, or is not enabled in the BIOS>

Can I edit this VM ESX instance to add the feature to the CPU or does VMware need to issue a patch?

Doh!   Selecting the CPU and choosing to expose hardware assisted virtualization to host os resolved the warning.
