Oracle VM 3.3.1 Beta Nested VM VMWare Installation in under 45 minutes
Originally recorded on AC33, YYZ to YVR on June 27, 2014.
Have had 6 scotches prior to recording, working on a double, just finished eating my meal and decided to record this quick demo of Oracle VM 3.3.1 Beta entirely on a single Macbook Pro.
I was inspired by three things: 1) A colleague mentioned this product as up-and-coming, and 2) a video I just saw today of a demonstration showing power-on to VM install in under one hour with some very pricey hardware. I thought, hey! If I can do this while flying drunk on a consumer system costing under US 2k, that would be awesome... also, let's not cheat with templates, but instead let's use a complete slow hardware virtualization windows install. Finally, 3) I just happened to have the software with me onboard.
I started the whole thing from bare install of OS to creating a Windows VM in roughly 45 minutes with plenty of mistakes. I chopped the video to try to save some time on the video, but will upload an unedited copy later.
Keep in mind I was not focused on the installations, and made quite a few mistakes... I was still reading emails on the side, eating ice-cream, drinking a little more, and trying to stay somewhat inconspicuous as it was already nearing midnight departure time.
Thankfully Air Canada's concierge managed to keep a seat free next to me, and of course, there's quite a bit of privacy in these old "pods", so ... this is a rough edit I finally whipped up and uploaded. I hope it's useful, or at least slightly entertaining... or just a waste of space... for what you paid for this video, I think you're getting your money's worth. =)
