Installing ESXi 6.0 in to a Hyper-V Environment on Windows 10.1

  1. Download fresh ESXI 6.0 ISO
  2. Download ESXi-Customizer-PS Link
  3. Download Tulip VIB for Hyper-V NICs Link
  4. Create 1st Gen Hyper-V VM (Decent amount of RAM, 2vCPUs, 10GB VHD, Legacy Network Adapter)
  5. Configure the 'Legacy Network Adapter' with 'Mac Spoofing' enabled and Port Mirroring set to 'Source'
  6. Use the customizer to rebuild the ISO with the attached VIB
  7. Mount newly created ISO to DVD in VM
  8. Install ESXI 6.0

  • If you are in an environment with no monitor / peripherals - you will need to boot with ' ignoreHeadless=TRUE' appended to the command line (SHIFT+O). If you get stuck at 'Relocating Modules' - this should fix that.

  • To make this permanent after install execute: esxcfg-advcfg -k TRUE ignoreHeadless

Got it working, but can't connect via network to it from any machine (physical or virtual) on the network

same error here, the ESXi gets IP from DHCP but not has access from internal or external, looks like it is isolated.
