Nested Hyper-V on vSphere ESXi
After a long break, I’m finally back with exciting instructions on how to virtualize Hyper-V servers! I spent my spare leisure time to co-found VASOUMA, a dance project and did some stuff for my company wellwave.net. For those reasons you haven’t read net new blogs on cloudjockey.
I wanted to explore more in virtualisation and I was particularly attracted by Microsoft’s brand new Hyper-V 3.0 with an interesting set of new features. It’s a very solid hypervisor and I definitely needed to look into it. However, I didn’t want to destroy my vSphere deployment at home. Thus, I was left with only one choice. This was to virtualise Hyper-V and let it run on top of a vSphere environment. So, I went to set up ADS, VMM, and started to install Windows 2012 Server, which includes Hyper-V 3.0. When I tried to add the role of a Hyper-V instance to that freshly deployed Windows 2012 Server things started to crumble… Read the rest of this entry
Ableton Live 9 announced!
… or the news I have been anxiously waiting for months. I’m using Live as my only sequencer since its inception for more than a decade now.
What’s new in a nutshell:
- 3 editions (Intro, Standard, Suite – incl Max for Live)
- Revamped browser
- Record automation into clips (even with curves)
- New sound packs & instrument racks (50GB for the Suite)
- New and revamped plug-ins (also for Max for Live)
- Convert audio to MIDI (e.g. sing and record a melody convert it to MIDI and assign the clip to a synth…)
- Powerful MIDI manipulation tools
Get yourself excited here: https://www.ableton.com/en/live/new-in-9/ and more over the ultra-cool must-have hardware controller Ableton Push: https://www.ableton.com/en/push/. I am eager to give it a try as soon as I get my hands on it!
What am I missing from the announcement and will hopefully be included, too:
- better graphical overview of recorded automations in a single track
- tools for multi-track comping (e.g. vocals)
- multi-user or multiple devices support (LAN or WAN-based)
- multi-monitor support (arranger and session view)
- layered sound editing
- integrated Melodyne pitch correction
And one rather visionary wish:
- fully compatible to run on vSphere as a standalone software product with its own micro OS
Enjoy!

Running Mountain Lion on vSphere
The topic of this post has seen huge demands. So, I took the time to invest to run Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) on vSphere! First of all, I found out no matter how hard I tried to get Mountain Lion to run on vSphere 5.0 U1, I failed:
- Fresh install on vSphere 5.0 U1
- Update existing Virtual Machine running Lion
- Importing a Virtual Machine running Mountain Lion from VMware Fusion
Therefore I assumed I had no other chance than to wait until the release of VMware vSphere 5.1…
