wow great post would have been in a lot of trouble otherwise.
using esx3.5u1 here.
In response to Andrew’s post (i’m sure he found the answer anyway), i used:
RR1R RRRR RRRR RRRR RRRR XRRR RRRR RRRR

just note that it seems to be common practice to restart vcenter services after changing these settings. worked for me.

Thanks! And yes the error message in 4.1 actually tells you what is required so if I had payed attention I would have saved a few hairs or two.

It worked…perhaps the error message itself indicates the bits. so make sure when you set 1 as bit it should be replace 3 from the left. See the error my message very closely.

BUT it is good solution to put. I guess VMware has fixed in ESX 4.1
