SCVMM on a host

Question
-
I would like to try out SCVMM.
At the moment i have two hyper-v hosts and I don't have a seperate machine to install SCVMM. Can I install it directly on one of the hosts, or I can install it on a virtual machine inside the host (both hosts are in one hyper-v failover cluster).
It is a lab solution (not production)- Edited by Tom1PL Thursday, May 14, 2020 7:19 PM more info

Hello,
Please don't install the SCVMM server on the Hyper-V host directly. You can install the SCVMM server and domain controller in the VMs.
After installation, you can add the hyper-v hosts/cluster into the VMM for management. Please refer to the installation guide by clicking the following link.
