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

I have installed ESXi 6.0 on VirtualBox and I have enabled Hardware Virtualization from VirtualBox as well. However when I create VM in ESXi and start it , It giing me an error

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

Do you mean you added "vmx.allowNested=TRUE" (not *mx*) to the VMs config file and it did not fix the problem?

I am not finding vmx.allowNested=TRUE..

Do I have to manually enter it to .vmx file ? I am new to VMware so apologize if it sounds silly question...

Right.  VirtualBox doesn't virtualize VT-x.  See https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4032.

You will only be able to run 32-bit nested guests with binary translation in this environment.
