I am trying to get esxi running within hyper-v and it won't recognize the virtual switch even though I got it setup properly and it works with any other VMs on this system.
I only have one NIC but it works fine with other VMs.
Please do so! That would help a LOT of people out with this and make history!
Can you please post the files needed, im having a hard time following the steps mentioned above since im really not that good with linux, can you PLEASE help me out ?
my current scenario:
Trying to run an ESx hypvervisor 5.1 as a VM UNDER Hyper-v 3.0 for windows server 2012. ESX will host a SCO UNIX OS.
Thanks

BUMP
Thank you very very much!
AWESOME but what do i do with this file now ?
Man, I LOVE YOU!!!!! ❤️
Small problem, it will allow me to install BUT it gives me a warning stating that hardware virtualization is not enabled in the bios or my cpu doesnt have this feature...is there anyway to enable hardware virtualization or is this not recommended?
Hardware virtualization only works for physical machines. You cannot enable hardware virtualization inside a virtual machine, because the virtual machine (ESXi in this case) is itself a hardware abstration.
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.
Same here.
Add the following to your nested VM configuration (.vmx) file, or using 'advanced configuration options' under the VC client):
vmx.allowNested = TRUE
Thank you! That worked!!!
You rock!
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.)
