My main homelab  machine is Mac Pro 6,1 (Trashcan) 12 core Xeon 128gb ram 500gb M2.

HP MicroServer N54L running Freenas providing additional storage.

As you can see from Screenshot ESXi 8  is installed on Mac Pro.

I used the the following link and instructions once registered.

VMware Cloud Foundation Lab Constructor (google.com)

SDDC Manager

Nested hosts view from SDDC Manager

Nested Hosts in vCenter

NSX-T Manager showing Transport zones created

NSX-T Manager Host Transport Nodes

This is not a detailed guide just wanted to see if it would work was slow and really need to upgrade m.2 drive, I had configured to use FreeNas for storage. Once I upgrade the m.2 drive I will try again and write a more detailed guide.
