As mentioned above, you can not simultaneously use the Hyper-V role and VMware Workstation within the same Windows Server instance. However, you can run another instance of Windows Server on a Hyper-V virtual machine that can host VMware Workstation nested. That configuration may seem a bit complicated, but it is basically the only option to achieve what you want on the same piece of hardware.
seems that boot device/order is lost for both windows and linux VM when attempting to move them from hyper-v to vmware. anyone seen this or could point me to any documentation about troubleshooting this?
I am checking if this issue has been resolved with support. I do believe we had a similar case and the customer was able to resolve the issue by modifying the VMX file on the failed over VM in the manners specified in this kb article:
It looks like some of you had issues with Hyper-V Gen 1 IDE to VMware. There is a KB article that tells how to change the registry. -base/vm-enters-system-recovery-during-fo-from-hv-to-vc/ We are investigating a warning for this case to better raise this incompatibility to customers.
