A Truly Virtual ESX Environment

Here is a training environment that I am almost done building on my laptop. I am running Windows 7 x64 with 8GB RAM and VMware Workstation 7.
Guests are:
1. Openfiler NAS (iSCSI Target)
2. ESX 4.1 Host
3. ESX 4.1 Host
4. XP
5. vCenter Server

In the past I always put the vCenter box on the ESX hosts however 4.1 requires a 64 bit OS and that is not possible yet in a nested virtual environment.



Up next DRS needs configured and I will have a ready to roll ESX Cluster.
