Nested Virtualization of Windows Hyper-V on XCP-ng
-
@clockware you can convert your machine from bios booting to uefi booting. Simple by converting MBR to GPT but you will need a win 10 iso

@AlexanderK VMWare setup had UEFI BIOS, when I'm portable on my laptop I use Hyper-V built into Win10Pro, it also uses UEFI / Gen2, in XCP-ng I tried both BIOS and UEFI settings. BIOS doesn't boot, checked just for the record. UEFI booting works, but UEFI+Nested-V doesn't (causes Win10 to troubleshoot itself). So it doesn't seem like partition recognition problem, it feels like Windows + Virtual Hardware to me (but may be UEFI image also matters, in my experience in different envs yes it might).

@clockware ok i misunderstood...

Is there any updates on nested virtualization and hyper-v?
I've tried to run docker on windows 10 vm and didn't succeed on this.

Sadly, there's not a lot of market traction for it. Obviously, contributions are very welcome, otherwise, it won't make progress by itself (not until we continue to grow enough to tackle more stuff in our backlog at once. Note: we almost made +30% in headcount just in 2022, so it's moving fast, but still plenty to do and we can't do everything!)

@olivierlambert thank you for your comment.

I am finding myself in this really unfortunate situation. We want to use Microsoft Connected Cache which requires Hyper-V. Microsoft Connected Cache is a way to cache inTune installation packages to reduce internet usage.
