This support was available in ESXi 5.1 but it is only with the release of Workstation 10 and ESXi 5.5 that I have followed up on the capabilities and got them to work for OS X.ĭonk did some of the original documentation on how to run ESXi under Workstation with Jim Mattson of VMware, as VMware have used nested virtualisation for a long time, if you have ever been on one of their training courses you will more than likely have been using nested instances in the labs, and I know VMware use nested virtualisation in the development cycle. Great news, however what is really interesting, is one of the "unsupported" features of VMware products is "Nested Virtualisation" which if your Intel CPU supports VT-x +EPT (or AMD's AMD-V +RVI, not relevant for Vanilla OS X, but useful for other OS's) will allow nested 64-bit VM's to run like Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, Hyper-V and OS X. VMware Workstation 10 and ESXi 5.5 have now been released and thanks to the latest Unlocker (1.2.x) from Donk and Zenith432 supports OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and 10.9 (Mavericks) on non Apple hardware.
