Nested HyperV on AHV | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Has anyone successfully been able to get HyperV(or ESXi) nested under AHV? I do see nested KVM VM's are supported but no mention of anything else.



Only reason for exploring this is to get Cisco Umbrella VA's working under AHV so i don't have to re-purpose an old server to run HyperV/ESXi.

AHV is developed based on KVM so basically I think there would be no difference between nested KVM and nested AHV. You should give it a try anyway.


@petep if you try this, please update us as I'm curious as well.
I am also very curious, I'm actually trying this now ... without luck so far.
@petep Any luck with getting the Umbrella VA’s working ? Just ran across someone else who will need to do that as well...

The latest version of the Umbrella appliance now works on AHV.



I still had my old esxi environment up so i deployed there and then migrated over just in case but don't see why importing the vmdk's wouldn't work.



good luck!
