@stormi said in Nested Virtualization of Windows Hyper-V on XCP-ng:
Actually, Xen never officially supported Nested Virtualization. It was experimental, and broke when other needed changes were made to Xen. Now there's work to be done to make it fully supported, and this won't happen before the final release of XCP-ng 8.3. This will be documented in the release notes.
This is also an issue for us internally as we create a lot of virtual pools for our tests.
I read through a lot of the earlier posts and finally started scrolling to find this, which is the answer I was looking for. Why do I care? There is a Microsoft evaluation learning lab for things like Intune that runs in Hyper-V, basically a bunch of VHD (x) that get spawned as needed. Applications I need to teach myself. Running XCP-NG 8.3 current updates for this lab.
If it doesn't happen, then I'll just need to throw an eval version of Windows Server on something else like an HP T740 to run these labs, not the biggest issue for me.
Link for the labs if anyone is curious (free with an email registration like all the evals):

I'd think direct Docker support would be a higher priority than nested virtualization with a focus on Hyper-V. But that's just me.
