Now you have a ESXi host running on a Hyper-V VM. Provide root credentials and type esxcfg-advcfg -k TRUE ignoreHeadlessĬlose the console by pressing ALT+F2, reboot ESXi and verify that it starts up seamlessly. Otherwise, you will always need to enable ignoreHeadless after every reboot. We need to set a VMKernel boot-time parameter. Once ESXi is successfully started, define settings for management network, enable a Shell, and then press Alt+F1 to enter to a console. Complete ESXi installation process (as usual), reboot it and press SHIFT+O during the startup, and then enable ignoreHeadless option again as shown in the screenshot: Otherwise, ESXi boot will hang while booting (I assume it’s all because ESXi is running on non-HCL hardware. Turn on the VM, attach the created ESXi ISO and press TAB on the boot screen, then type ignoreHeadless=TRUE and press Enter. vMotion is what many of the IT guys (including me) thinks is the thing that got me hooked into virtualization. vMotion is one of the emblematic features of VMware Virtualization technology.

Set-VMProcessor -VMName "vHost-01" -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $Trueġ0. Update: VMware VSAN 6.2 Released as Part of vSphere 6.0 Update 2. Once PowerCLI is installed, run it and set location to the folder containing the files, then add offline depot ZIP files to the current PowerCLI session as shown below:

Download and install VMware PowerCLI 6.3 or newerĥ. Support has provided me some information regarding but I will wait to have more details before posting the result. You can either retain the default selection on choose to create a new standard switch as we do in this example. Select the target device for the connection. We select Virtual Machine Port Group for a Standard Switch and click on Next. Copy the downloaded files to the same folder (e.g. vCenter Appliance Version 6.0 Build 2559267. Choose the type of connection you wish to create. Otherwise, ESXi installation will be blocked)ģ.
ADD STANDARD NETWORK VMWARE 6.0 DRIVER
Download the driver which allows running ESXi as a VM under Microsoft Hyper-V ( net-tulip, it’s actually a network driver which should be added to ESXi image. For example, here is a direct download link for Dell’s ESXi 6.0 image which includes Dell’s VIBs in addition to built-in installation bundles provided by VMware.Ģ. To get around the network cutting out on your VMs when you rename the port groups, instead you can create all new port groups first, cut over the VMs (as was said earlier PowerCLI can do it for you), and then remove the old port groups once they have no more VMs attached to them. You can also download a ESXi image customized by vendor. Download VMWare ESXi offline bundle available at product download page (e.g. although these steps should work for newer versions as well):ġ. Set vmnet2 to Bridged To and from the dropdown menu, select the secondary network card that you just added on this host. Select vmnet2 or any unused, unresevered vmnet. Needless to say, nested virtualization works great only for demo and labs, therefore, running ESXi under Hyper-V is a completely unsupported in production environments.Īnyway, carry out the following steps to install ESXi (6.0, in my case. Creating subnets in VMware Workstation (1020480) Launch VMware Workstation. I’ve been doing recently VMware ESXi deployment in my lab environment and would like to share main steps required to make it work on nested Hyper-V.
