Got a bit carried away when I found out that it is possible to start multiple vmWare Player instances.
Amateur. The real fun begins when you find out that you can virtualize the virtualization platform.
If you have followed my previous article about How to Enable Support for Nested 64bit & Hyper-V VMs in vSphere 5 you may recall a diagram about the levels of "Inception" that can be performed with nested ESXi. That is, the number of times you could nest ESXi and still have it be in a "functional" state. With vSphere 5.0, the limit that I was able to push was 2 levels of nested ESXi. With latest release of vSphere 5.1, I have been able to push that limit now to an extraordinary 3 levels of inception!
You might ask why would someone want to do this ... well I don't have a good answer other than ... because I can? �� VHV is one of the coolest "unsupported" feature in my books and I'm glad it is working beyond what it was designed for.
