Running under vsphere nested Hyper-V and XenServer considerations

Sometimes, for experimentation, learning, you will try to run nested in vsphere under Hyper-V or xenserver virtual machines. But if you just follow a generic VM to install, you will often encounter the following error message:

Hyper-V: Hyper-V cannot be installed. A Hypervior is already running

XENSERVER:HVM is required for this operational message

These are usually caused by an error in your virtual another HYPERVIOSR under vsphere.

So how can you successfully emulate these virtual environments in vsphere? Through some experiments, I summarize as follows:

1. Check your ESXi physical host and must support the EVC mode above Intel "Nehalem". If this physical host belongs to a cluster, then the EVC mode of the cluster must be above "Nehalem". (for AMD's CPU, I didn't do a pro test.) But the higher the better, the better.

2. Edit the VM properties of the Hypervior. In options> Cpu/mmu virtualization, select Use intel-vt/amd-v for instruction set. INTEL-EPT/AMV RVI for MMU virtualization

3. Download the. vmx file for the Hypervior VM, edit the file, and insert two rows of parameters at the end:

   
   

   Hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = FALSE

   Vhv.enable = TRUE

   
   

   Save and upload overwrite the original. vmx file. Add the next VM under the Vsphere host (remove from inventory and add to the inventory.

Done!

Hope to be helpful to friends who meet the same problem.
