HOW TO - Install Hyper-V over vmware ESXi

Yes, it's possible.
When you try to install Hyper-V role in a VM running Windows Server 2012 R2 over VMWARE you will have this error.


To solve it :
- You need to turn off your VM Windows Server 2012 R2
- Browse DataStore and download file *.vmx from your VM Windows Server 2012 R2
- Edit the file with notepad and add the next lines

hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
mce.enable = "TRUE"
vhv.enable = "TRUE"

The first line solve the previous error and all other lines, solve this error:


Now, you need to modify line guestOS = "ServerOSname" to guestOS = "winhyperv"

Once modified the file, upload it to the same MV and edit settings to change processor type:


Change to Automatic to Intel VT-x/AMD-V ...
Clic ok and run VM and try install hyper-V role.


I hope to help you.
