I was just wondering about that.

So it’s not possible to virtualize VMware ESXi under SmartOS?

I know the reverse does work fine, and I have done it, with PCI passthrough for 
the LSI host adapters, but my SmartOS installation is production and my ESXi 
needs are strictly experimental, so I don’t want to put the ESXi underneath 
SmartOS at this point.

Best,
Chris
