esxi 7.0 nested on esxi 6.0 VM

[vmb01]

In my physical ESXi 6.0 I've created a VM version 10. with 2 CPU and, 16GB RAM and 4 SCSI HDD

mounting a ESXi 6.7 iso on it, I'm able to install ESXi in one of the 4 HDD

mounting a ESXi 7.0 iso on it, I'm not able to install ESXi because it do not see ant HDD.

Why ?

HI,

It may not be compatible with your hardware, or it may not have the correct drivers for your HDD. Did you check this before installation?

However, it is a strange test ...

ESXi 7.0 does not support "vmklinux" drivers, I would therefore assume your ESXi VM is using a controller for which 7.0 has no driver.

You could just import a pre-built appliance instead: https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/nested-virtualization/nested-esxi-virtual-appliance

solved using paravirtualized controller
