You want to install ESXI inside a VM running on ESXI?

Are you trying to nest VMs?

Either way, from the sounds of this question, there are many things you need to explain, but probably more you need to learn before you get to the point of a deployment.

I suggest perusing Youtube for some very handy tutorials. There are literally hundreds.

Hi, this is not customer service. Thank you, come again!

 

Joking aside, if you have an ESXi 7.0 VM already, and you want to install another ESXi in it, which is called nested VMs, there is not a single command that

will automatically deploy that. You'll need to create a new VM, pass through the virtualization extensions from your host and then add the ISO file to boot it from.

Give it ample storage, CPU and RAM.

 

If any of these terms are unknown, please stop and educate yourself on how ESXi and virtualization in general work and then try again :)

Installing ESXi as a nested VM is the exact same process as you would have followed to install the original ESXi you're already running. 

Or perhaps i'm not understanding your question properly.
