Create a nested hypervisor
author: Luc Dekens
Description
From Luc's Home Lab series, the script to create a nested hypervisor VM. This will let you create a ESX or HyperV hypervisor VM for your lab so that you can experiment as much as you'd want without breaking anything important.
Usage
the following example (from his page) displays how-to create 3 nested ESX VM's and boot them after creation.
$esx = Get-VMHost -Name MyLab $pgName = "Internal" $pgObj = Get-VirtualPortGroup -Name $pgName $pg = 1..4 | %{$pgObj} $nestedParams = @{ Name = $null VMHost = $esx DiskGB = 8 NumCpu = 2 MemoryGB = 8 Portgroup = $pg CD = $true ISOPath = "[datastore1] ISO/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" ESXi = $true } 1..3 | %{ $nestedParams.Name = "ESX$($_)" $newesx = New-NestedHypervisor @nestedParams Start-VM -VM $newesx -Confirm:$false }
