Esxi is not working on virtual box 5.0.2

Post by rahul_36 »

Hi I've installed esxi 5.5 on virtual box 5.0.2 and assigned static IP, then with that ip and following credentials i logged into the vsphere client and uploaded win 7 sp1 (64 bit) ISO into datastore. But now when i tried to install the OS i'm getting message as you are running VMware ESX through an incompatible hypervisor. You cannot power on a virtual machine until this hypervisor is disabled. can anyone please help me on this.

Where did you get the idea that this should work?
Nested virtualization is not supported by VirtualBox.

It might work (slowly) the other way around - VirtualBox in an Esxi guest.
