1. Re: Installing ESX on VMServer
oreeh Dec 14, 2007 5:42 AM (in response to VMLydo)This is not possible.
To install ESX in a VM you need Workstation 6 or Fusion.
Maybe Server 2 beta works as well, but I haven't tried it.

serrano Aug 19, 2008 9:36 AM (in response to oreeh)Hi, I have VMserver 1.5 and have 2 ESXi running there.
My current problems are:
HA doesn't work;
VMotion doesn't work;
Turning on Virtual machines fail for low resources.
My system is a Q6600 with 4GB ram
Both ESXi have 2 cpu's and 1GB ram
And it's evaluation.
Is there anyone else with vmserver?

serrano Aug 20, 2008 8:59 AM (in response to weinstein5)If VC is Vierual Center, i have it running in another virtual machine with Windows XP.
I can't use workstation Beta right now, because i have some virtual machines in my vmware server.
Regards.
