Hello Remi,
We use VMware ESXi 5.5 U2 (March 2015 Build), not NSX, we use DVS and SVS.
Works like a charm. I also recommend you use VMXNET3 & SCSI Controllers on
your OS Templates.
One downside of VMware vs XenServer 6.2 (We run both), VMware takes around
20min to deploy a 100GB VM, CXS takes about 5 min.
Kind Regards,
Timothy Lothering

Hello Remi,
Anyway VMware hypervisor is a business decision. but I will definitely look in
to KVM based nested hypervisor too.
What is your qemu version?
Have you tried vmware esxi as nested hypervisor?
Thanks,
Tejas
