Re: ESXi ON a laptop

Dr.Acrobat (no adobe) No, ESXi is a bare-metal hypervisor designed to run host VMs as efficiently as possible. Imagine if I have a datacenter that has 1000 servers running esxi, and all 1000 were wasting cpu cycles and memory pushing vm output to the local graphics cards/displays and doing other host responsibilities like switching between different displays. That is why no one will write a bare-metal hypervisor that does that stuff, because it would be silly to implement that at scale. It is a bad, bad idea.

 

What you want is an operating system with a hypervisor on top so you can play with your VMs from the same machine. Or, you want a stupid (or old) machine hosting the VMs (your server) and another platform networked with it so you can manage it from there.
