Yea figured that....looks like though you can install an esxvm nested within Hyper-V you still cannot run vm's within esx because the hyper-v role is enabled...damn.

VMware products virtualize hardware-assisted virtualization. Hyper-V does not. But you should still run be able to run nested 32-bit VMs with binary translation.

Add the following to your nested VM configuration (.vmx) file, or using 'advanced configuration options' under the VC client):

vmx.allowNested = TRUE

You'll have to let me know what it's like. I've never tried it that way around.

Does Hyper-V allow you to set the network interface of the ESXi guest to promiscuous mode? (If you have multiple interfaces, this would be the one attached to the VM Network.)

I checked and there are no options in the virtual switch manager of hyper-v

I'll try to get this working.

If I have to I can pick up a cheap wireless USB dongle and see if I can try to route with that and see if that will help.

I am able to get as far as to get an IP from my router to the esxi/vsphere VM but no DNS/internet connectivity works.

I am able to ping my router, however no DNS resolves.

XML file for your VM.

I am not sure where best to try this. The first place I would suggest is under the <global_settings> node. Add the line:

<allow_promiscuous_mode type="boolean">TRUE</allow_promiscuous_mode>

THIS WORKED!!!

Am i the only one getting a black screen after using the legacy adapter, and the tulip vib for a custom image, after boot but before the install?

I'd take a screenshot, but it's really just a black screen.
