on the ESXi server, ssh to it remotely or from thebconsole.

Hanccocka, you won't believe it.
I uninstalled the Vmware Workstation 7 which I was running and installed Workstation 8.0 instead. Seeing as I had downloaded the Vmware Esxi 5, the Workstation 7 would only recognise up to 4.0. On 8, it has the option to recognise version Esxi 5.
The other thing that in 8.0 exists, is the ability to virtualise the engine (attached picture) and select the 'Intel VT' checkbox. I wonder whether all of this helped?
Also, I couldn't SSH to the machine. Firewall turned off and yet I couldn't SSH to it. So that's why I decided to uninstall it and attempt with the new workstation. Vmware.jpg
