If you do nested ESXi with something like freeNAS or Openfiler that runs an iSCSI target or a NFS export, you can use that as shared storage for the nested ESXi's and test vMotion there. -

Nas4Free is less daunting compared to FreeNas and if you got a Windows Server in your lab you could even use the built in ISCSI target.My own knowledge base made public: http://open902.com

I use Starwind Virtual SAN to present some of the empty space on my workstation as iSCSI storage to my ESXi boxes (physical and nested virtual).
