@planedrop Thought you might be interested to hear my results... The Vendor A) refuses to talk to me since I'm an MSP and not a direct employee of my client... Stupid, but I sent questions to my clients to give them...

They have straight-up refused to discuss trying anything outside of Hyper-V and completely acted stupid when I mentioned something about moving the VHD that their software creates in Hyper-V and put it in our hypervisor directly... Said that's unsupported and we will not assist you.

Still trying to figure out how to get around this... I had Hyper-V running on a Proxmox VM but the software seems to stall out and never finish installing. I'm trying XCP-NG 8.2 but based on all the conversations here, I'm assuming Hyper-V will refuse to run.

@planedrop Exactly! Otherwise I didn't care because like you said, what the VM sees doesn't exactly matter in this regard because the host has ECC memory.

@planedrop Yeah Appreciated! I'm going to do a conference call with the vendor next week hopefully... They won't talk with me since I'm an MSP for my client... Stupid...

I'm experimenting with Nested virtualization with Proxmox... The application is installing but throwing errors, but I don't know if that's because of it being nested or if it's just throwing errors...

Regardless I may try XCP-NG 8.2 latest and see how it reacts with nested virtualization and just stick with that if it works... It'll be easier to backwards migrate everything from 8.3 to 8.2 than moving to Proxmox (I think?)

@AlexanderK Right, which in some ways in similar in what I'm needing, because there are applications that need Hyper-V.

@planedrop Here's hoping! Though I'm not hopeful because their installer application hooks into Hyper-V and creates an Ubuntu server on there and then extract tarballs into it... It's very strange.

@Andrew My point was Hyper-V was giving an error because it said that it couldn't detect ECC memory either...

@planedrop Just to keep things cohesive in these threads, I'm linking my response https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/81103

But yeah I may take your advice and call the vendor.

@planedrop It looks like it is actually required for this piece of software to run at all... I might call them to see if they have worked with others that virtualize their servers to run the software or if they always run them on bare metal Windows... I don't use the software, so I don't know much about it, I just make sure the machines are available to run it.

Hello I'm running XCP-NG 8.3 Beta 2 (will update to RC1 this weekend).

I have a Windows Server 2022 environment I'm setting up A) I need Hyper-V installed, which isn't going to happened due to the limitations of Nested Virtualization (Already super frustrated about that)... B) I was able to install Hyper-V through DISM, BUT I seeing errors that Windows seems to think I don't have ECC RAM installed.

Does XCP-NG not passthrough the RAM data info so Windows sees that it is ECC RAM?

I'm very confused about that.

@stormi Bummer... Because I really could use the ability to run Hyper-V in a Windows Server VM... It's needed for a certain application that a client of mine uses.
