You are running VMware ESX through an incompatible hypervisor. You cannot power on a virtual machine until this hypervisor is disabled


This error is there when I created an ESXi host in a cloud for the test lab and when I tried to power ON a virtual machine I got this error.


In order to resolve this issue,
1.Enable SSH on your host.
2.Navigate to /etc/vmware/config  file of the ESXi host.
3. vmx.allowNested = "TRUE"

After this, the issue will be resolved.

NOTE: This is my test environment, strictly not recommended in production environment.
