GNS3 VM with VMWare Workstation 12 Pro on EC2 instance  

Hi,

This is what I hope to have:

[ul]

AWS EC2 Windows 2012 instance with GNS3 VM running on VMWare Workstation 12 Pro.

A Fortigate FW running in GNS3 VM[/ul]

This is what I have done:

[ul]

Running Windows 2012 base EC2 instance

Installed VMWare workstation Pro

Installed GNS3 2.2.8

Imported the GNS3 VM into VMWare Workstation Pro

Setup the GNS3 app and enabled GNS3 VM

Launch the GNS3 VM[/ul]

When the GNS3 VM launches, I get the following:

"VMWare workstation and Hpyer-V are not compatible. Remove the Hpyer-V role from the system before running VMWare Workstation.

Hyper-V is not enabled on the role on the server and i cannot remove it. 

Any ideas or recommendations?

Thanks

Anthony.

Apparently this is not possible to do on AWS as they do not allow nested virtualisation.

Going to get a high spec PC / Laptop now.

Good articles on it here:
