Installing OS on ESXi5.5 that is in VirtualBox

Post by Kloony »

Hello, and sorry for newbee's questions and explanations, for I am very beginner, plus i am not a native english-speaker :?
Desctiption:
I have a VirtualBox 4.3.6 on Windows 8.
Created two virtual machines and install OSes on them (Windows 7 and ESXi5.5).
The next step must be installing Centos 6.5 64 on ESXi5.5 from VMWare vSphere Client that is on guest W7.
I was trying to install it from an ISO that i put firstly in "C:\" of W7, and secondly load as a CD from VirtualBox. The result in both cases is hanging on the string "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable) ....", after wich window closes, ISO unmounts.
There are some unclear solution of such a thing, but i found none about installation Centos on ESXi inside VirtualBox.
If you need some deeper info, please tell me what is needed.
Thank you very much!!!

While it may be possible it is not supported to run nested virtualization.
