XOA on a vSphere VM
-
Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to install XOA on a VM hosted in vSphere ESXi. (Something similar to external vCenter)
Thank you.

Of course you could do this, you'd just import the appliance to your ESXi environment.
The question is why would you retain an ESXi environment? It's a bit silly given the pricing model that Broadcom has put out there.
Migrating to XCP-ng and XO can cost as little as 0 capex and only human capital to migrate from one hypervisor to the next.
XOA is installed on Debian, XO (from source or Community) can be easily installed into Debian or Ubuntu (both of which are free) and run completely fine on every hypervisor there is.

In our environment, processes are a little bit complicated. We need to move on with vSphere for some time so I need to host XOA on vCenter. So I will need a hybrid approach for a while.
Thanks again.
