This issue occurs if Virtualization Technology (VT) is disabled on the destination host, probably after a recent BIOS firmware upgrade.
To resolve this issue, you must enable Virtualization Technology (VT) in the BIOS settings of the physical server. For more information, see Determining if Intel Virtualization Technology or AMD Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS without rebooting (1011712)
