Connecting Cloud Innovators: Building Community at .NEXT 2024
It may not be officially supported, but it can be done... Did you ever get around to trying it in Hyper-V? I’ve been trying but with on luck yet. Hi Chadd, Unfortunately, I haven’t had the cycles to get into Hyper-V yet. However, after playing with vSAN on AHV for a while, I realized something interesting. The only drives that will work with vSAN are IDE and you can only have a total of four of them per VM. That leaves you with one CDROM, one ESXi OS drive, and the bare minimum two for vSAN. If you haven’t tried IDE, give it a shot. And to give credit where its due, I got started with the following link as well. That’s where I found that you have to use an e1000 NIC if you want the networking to work. Hope this helps. http://www.automashell.com/nest-vmware-esxi-on-nutanix-ahv/
It may not be officially supported, but it can be done. I have three ESXi VMs running on AHV. Each of them have three disks and I was able to create a complete vSAN cluster running the vCenter appliance and a couple of Windows VMs on the vSAN datastore. So far, I haven’t had any issues and its not really all that slow. Obviously, this shouldn’t be used for production, but it allows us to stay up to date with VMware stuff without needing additional hardware. I haven’t tried Hyper-V yet, but maybe that’ll be next.
