How to deploy VMware vSphere ESXi nested in a virtual machine

In this how-to video, I will show you how to create and install two nested VMware vSphere ESXi hosts and add them a new cluster in your VMware vCenter Server.

Please note: at 15:18 I made a typo in the DNS hostname of the second host the -/dash is missing. The correct hostname was, of course, esxl1-202.haslund.lab.
