PowerEdge R710 Dual/multi boot options?

$

I'm new to Dells. I have an R710 with VMware ESXi 6.5 (a bare-metal hypervisor) currently booting from a drive in drive slot 0 [defined as virtual disk 0 in the PERC console]. This works fine for the VMware VMs I need to run.

I now have an additional need to run several Hyper-V VMs under Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter - if possible I'd like to define another virtual disk [virtual disk 1] in the PERC6 mgmt console and selectively boot from it as well. Is this possible? 

If the above is not, are there any other workable options? I guess I could swap different disk caddies into slot 0, but that seems clunky. 

Thanks for any thoughts on this - Tom
