Hyper-v inside Hyper-v

Question

My VM running under Azure Local where Azure Local is Hyper-V based. let call this VM is VM1.

Inside this VM1 install Hyper-V role then i create an VM (let we call VM2), but this VM2 can't connect to the network.

VM1 is working fine, can access to the network.

Anyone know why VM2 can't connect to the network?

Answer 1

Looks like you’re dealing with a nested virtualization issue., There are specific networking constraints that can cause VM2 to be isolated from external networks. This may be what we have to check.

Try these suggestions from similar issues I checked:

Create an Internal Virtual Switch, assign an IP to it and create the NAT network. You can then try to configure the vm2 to use the NAT switch.

If that does no work, you can also test with an ICS on the adapter.
