Running VSphere hypervisor and Vsphere from the same machine

Hi guys,

I've got quite a basic question bu I can't seem to find an answer.

I'm setting up a home server/vmware test environment, but I only have one computer. I want to install ESXi on this computer, and then run VSphere via localhost to manage VM Machines on the same host. Until now, I've always set up ESXi on a host machine and then managed it remotely, with my laptop. But I don't have that option here. Is there something within ESXi that allows this configuration?

Thanks,

Gareth
