Prepping for my "Poke and Prod" meeting with my boss...AKA...Annual Review. First one I've gotten in 2-3 years
Does that means playing Pokemon Go in his office?

Possibly!

Really.... need insane performance from storage for a database, needs RAID 10 SSDs.... but is building their database server on a cheap gaming whitebox desktop with a 1.GHz processor!

These requirements do not go together!
On and Windows bare metal install.

I wonder if Simon Travaglia frequents SW...
The latest BOFH sounds very much like several threads discussed here.

Trying to figured out if there's any chance Installing VirtualBox inside a virtual machine.

https://mangolassi.it/topic/9848/installing-virtualbox-inside-a-virtual-machinePossible, yes. Good idea, no. Something another VM won't solve I take it?

Only 1 more VM to "reinstall" onto XenServer
then hopefully set-up some backups too. -
Just getting back on ML after a few days away. Surprised to see there weren't a million more threads than there were.

There should be no issue, but you may not get VT-x inside the guest because VirtualBox can't do V-in-V AFAIK (aka nested virtualization, haven't checked that in a while). The guest OS running the inner VirtualBox basically is not aware of the fact it is running virtual.
Edit-1: Hyper-V can do nested virtualization after a little hack. Can do a quick search for the link if you need that.
Edit-2:

https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=63313At least 32-bit OS'ses should do as guests.

I think it normally takes a long time for them to call because they don't have working phones.
