  1. ??ESXI5
  2. Configure a vSwitch and/or Port Group to have Promiscuous Mode enabled
  3. Create a second Port Group named “Trunk” with VLAN ID All (4095) if you want to use VLANs on virtual hypervisors
  4. Log in to Tech Support Mode (iLO or ssh) and make the following tweak to enable nested 64-bit guests 
    									echo 'vhv.allow = "TRUE"' >> /etc/vmware/config
	
    5. 	Vsphere 5.1????vhv.enable = "true"

Nesting "Other" Hypervisors


For those of you 
who feel inclined to run other hypervisors such as Hyper-V, you can do so with 
latest release of ESXi 5.1. The process if very straight forward just like 
running nested ESXi host.



Step 1 - Create a 
Virtual Hardware 9 VM and select the appropriate guestOS. In this example, I 
selected Windows Server 2012 (64-bit) as the guestOS version. 



Step 2 - Enable VHV under the CPU section if you wish 
to create and run nested 64-bit VMs under Hyper-V



Step 3 - You will need to add one additional .vmx 
parameter which tells the underlying guestOS (Hyper-V) that it is not running as 
a virtual guest which in fact it really is. The parameter is 
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = FALSE
