Juan Casares, a VMware Interaction Designer in Palo Alto has dropped a little post in the Create a GuestOS type of ESX3.5 for deploying test ESX3.5 Servers VMware community discussion.
We are considering making ESX a guest OS type and make running ESX easier in Workstation. Unfortunately, there are many questions regarding how officially we can support this. There are implications on mobility, hardware restrictions, execution mode, performance, QA, etc.
Not everyone is happy with this consideration. Ulli over at sanbarrow.com gives his 2 cents.
Juan - please do not officially support this kind of usage. I prefer if folks like jmattson just tell us what to do and in this respect ESX -support has been pretty good in the last few weeks. Please go on like that and don't scratch your heads about official support - good tips and quick answers help us much better. Just my 2 cents. Ulli
