I stumbled across this thread and thought I might update it with my experience. Installing ESXi 6.5 on Unraid 6.8 My experience was almost identical to the above withe the following additional info: OS <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-4.2'>hvm</type> Disk <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> NIC <model type='e1000'/> Some notes; ESXi was unable to see a disk target to install to with vdisk bus type SATA and a Q35 machine type. I didn't test SCSI or SATA with pc-i440 machine type. *Edit - SATA Works with pc-i440 machine type. Any change to the config whatsoever in form view resets the NIC model type back to virtio. This needs to be manually changed back to e1000 after any alteration to the VM config in xml view. Probably a feature request for form view to provide nic model field. NFS export configured in unraid then mounted as a datastore to ESXi no probs. Import of an OVA - no probs. *Edit - if you want esxi to be usable - nested virtualization should be enabled.
