        Does that means playing Pokemon Go in his office?

            Really.... need insane performance from storage for a database, needs RAID 10 SSDs.... but is building their database server on a cheap gaming whitebox desktop with a 1.GHz processor!

            https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1722048-raid-10-on-a-budget-diy-server

            These requirements do not go together!

            On and Windows bare metal install.

                    Yep. SSD is not spinning platters of rust, different types of failure and rebuild times on the two types of drives.

                      I wonder if Simon Travaglia frequents SW...
                      The latest BOFH sounds very much like several threads discussed here.

                        Trying to figured out if there's any chance Installing VirtualBox inside a virtual machine.

                          Possible, yes. Good idea, no. Something another VM won't solve I take it?

                            Only 1 more VM to "reinstall" onto XenServer 😄 then hopefully set-up some backups too.

                              Just getting back on ML after a few days away. Surprised to see there weren't a million more threads than there were.

                                There should be no issue, but you may not get VT-x inside the guest because VirtualBox can't do V-in-V AFAIK (aka nested virtualization, haven't checked that in a while). The guest OS running the inner VirtualBox basically is not aware of the fact it is running virtual.

                                Edit-1: Hyper-V can do nested virtualization after a little hack. Can do a quick search for the link if you need that.

                                Edit-2:
                                https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4032
                                https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=63313

                                At least 32-bit OS'ses should do as guests.
