Running vSphere 4 in a VMware Workstation 6.5.2

As I expected, Xtravirt released a whitepaper about “How to install ESX 4.0 on Workstation 6.5.2 as a VM“. In the PDF you’ll find how-to configure your ESX VM so that you can run nested VM’s. (VMs inside of the ESX 4.0 VM).

That’s a great news, because I use to have ESX 3.0 and ESX 3.5 installed in a VM’s on my laptop inside of VMware Workstation. You can do a lot of thinks on your laptop this way. You can configure several ESX Servers and in another VM you can install vCenter and play arround with your ESX cluster this way.

    Me too I knew the white paper from Xtravirt. It helps me to learn some more of ESX with VMware Workstation. I also use Those TrainSignal’s Videos too… They are great..

    Cheers

  2. Tim,
    VMware Workstation helps me to learn too. I’m having several ESX servers, ESX 3.5 and ESX 4.0. Virtual center and vSphere too. I even manage to run Exchange 2007 on my laptop. The only think which I missing is a disk space…. -:)
