Nested Virtualization/Hypervisor ESXi => HyperV….

To run HyperV in ESXi modify the vmx file of the HyperV guest vm:

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

To allow network communication from VMs on the HyperV over the HyperV virtual switches to the ESXi network the “Promiscuous Mode” of the ESXi network switch has to be set to “Accept” – ESXi-Host => configuration => networking => select vSwitch<X> => properties => select vSwitch => Edit => Security => Policy Exceptions => Promiscuous Mode => Accept

 

SmartHome Architecture…

SmartHome…. high availability architecture… but just for fun and to play with some technologies. The system is also able to run on a single system like the “Scada Local” system, and this is just an old Lenovo Netbook with 2GB RAM…

Mobile-Phone-App: http://www.rocworks.at/wordpress/rocvmobile/

Used software: Arduino, RaspberryPI, WinCC OA, VMWare ESXi, iSCSI-Target TGT, Oracle-Solaris, Oracle-Linux, Oracle-Database & ASM, Oracle-Apex…

Progamming the Arduino was pretty cool, this cheap micro controller is very powerful 🙂  Implemented a rough interface to WinCC OA (powerful SCADA software made by Siemens/ETM)…
