Starting a Virtual Machine on vSphere 5.1 got below error:
Failed to power on VM.
Could not power on VM : Admission check failed for memory resource See the VMware ESX Resource Management Guide for information on resource management settings.
SharedArea: Unable to find 'testSharedAreaPtr' in SHARED_PER_VM_VMX area.
Using hardware virtualization with a software MMU.
This host does not support EPT.
Solution:
check memory size on VM on whether GB or MB is correct. I chose 1024 GB instead of 1024MB

I also ran into this issue when I had set conflicting resource pool reservations which stopped the machine from being able to get the amount of memory requested (because another resource pool had a reservation which was too high).
