Mac Osx Vmware Image For Amd: Benefits and Challenges of Running macOS on AMD VMs



Mac OS X 10.5.5 installation DVD is not required and this method will work with AMD and Intel processor X 86 computers as well.if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined')ez_ad_units.push([[580,400],'sysprobs_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_7',105,'0','0']);__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-sysprobs_com-medrectangle-3-0');If you like to try this VMware preinstalled image on VMware workstation, try this method which we published earlier.

As this guide was done with the older versions, you can use the same VMware preinstalled image of Mac OS 10.5.5 without modifying ting the XML file on latest Oracle VirtualBox. It is better to virtualize and use the latest version of macOS rather than trying 10-year-old product except you have some specific reason for that.If any of the above solutions did not fix the Windows PC issues, we recommend downloading the below PC repair tool to identify and solve any PC Issues.


At a high level, the process of creating a golden image VM consists of the following steps. A step by step walkthrough of the complete process, is given in the Creating an Optimized Windows Image for a VMware Horizon Virtual Desktop guide.


Additionally, the OS Optimization Tool comes with a Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) plugin to allow the whole golden image build process to be automated. This includes the installation of Windows, VMware Tools, Horizon agents, and applications. See Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Plugin for more detail.


The OS Optimization Tool now comes with a plugin for Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), available as a separate download. This plugin allows you to use Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to automate the creation of your golden images and adds in custom tasks that can be inserted into MDT task sequences.


In vSphere 7.x, the Update Manager plug-in, used for administering vSphere Update Manager, is replaced with the Lifecycle Manager plug-in. Administrative operations for vSphere Update Manager are still available under the Lifecycle Manager plug-in, along with new capabilities for vSphere Lifecycle Manager. The typical way to apply patches to ESXi 7.x hosts is by using the vSphere Lifecycle Manager. For details, see About vSphere Lifecycle Manager and vSphere Lifecycle Manager Baselines and Images. You can also update ESXi hosts without using the Lifecycle Manager plug-in, and use an image profile instead. To do this, you must manually download the patch offline bundle ZIP file from VMware Customer Connect. From the Select a Product drop-down menu, select ESXi (Embedded and Installable) and from the Select a Version drop-down menu, select 7.0. For more information, see the Upgrading Hosts by Using ESXCLI Commands and the VMware ESXi Upgrade guide.


With vCenter Server 7.0 Update 2, you can create a new cluster by importing the desired software specification from a single reference host. However, if legacy VIBs are in use on an ESXi host, vSphere Lifecycle Manager cannot extract in the vCenter Server instance where you create the cluster a reference software specification from such a host. In the /var/log/lifecycle.log, you see messages such as: 020-11-11T06:54:03Z lifecycle: 1000082644: HostSeeding:499 ERROR Extract depot failed: Checksum doesn't match. Calculated 5b404e28e83b1387841bb417da93c8c796ef2497c8af0f79583fd54e789d8826, expected: 0947542e30b794c721e21fb595f1851b247711d0619c55489a6a8cae6675e796 2020-11-11T06:54:04Z lifecycle: 1000082644: imagemanagerctl:366 ERROR Extract depot failed. 2020-11-11T06:54:04Z lifecycle: 1000082644: imagemanagerctl:145 ERROR [VibChecksumError]


After you upgrade to ESXi 7.0 Update 2, if you check vSphere Quick Boot compatibility of your environment by using the /usr/lib/vmware/loadesx/bin/loadESXCheckCompat.py command, you might see some warning messages for missing VIBs in the shell. For example: Cannot find VIB(s) ... in the given VIB collection. Ignoring missing reserved VIB(s) ..., they are removed from reserved VIB IDs. Such warnings do not indicate a compatibility issue.


If you attempt auto bootstrapping a cluster that you manage with a vSphere Lifecycle Manager image to perform a stateful install and overwrite the VMFS partitions, the operation fails with an error. In the support bundle, you see messages such as: 2021-02-11T19:37:43Z Host Profiles[265671 opID=MainThread]: ERROR: EngineModule::ApplyHostConfig. Exception: [Errno 30] Read-only file system


Upgrades to ESXi 7.x from 6.5.x and 6.7.0 by using the esxcli software profile update or esxcli software profile install ESXCLI commands might fail, because the ESXi bootbank might be less than the size of the image profile. In the ESXi Shell or the PowerCLI shell, you see an error such as:


Workaround: You can perform the upgrade in two steps, by using the esxcli software profile update command to update ESXi hosts to ESXi 6.7 Update 1 or later, and then update to 7.0 Update 1c. Alternatively, you can run an upgrade by using an ISO image and the vSphere Lifecycle Manager.


Migration of vCenter Server for Windows to vCenter Server appliance 7.0 fails with the error message IP already exists in the network. This prevents the migration process from configuring the network parameters on the new vCenter Server appliance. For more information, examine the log file: /var/log/vmware/upgrade/UpgradeRunner.log


When you perform group migration operations on VMs with multiple disks and multi-level snapshots, the operations might fail with the error com.vmware.vc.GenericVmConfigFault Failed waiting for data. Error 195887167. Connection closed by remote host, possibly due to timeout.


NSX-T is not compatible with the vSphere Lifecycle Manager functionality for image management. When you enable a cluster for image setup and updates on all hosts in the cluster collectively, you cannot enable NSX-T on that cluster. However, you can deploy NSX Edges to this cluster.


If vSphere Lifecycle Manager is enabled on a cluster, vSAN File Services cannot be enabled on the same cluster and vice versa. In order to enable vSphere Lifecycle Manager on a cluster, which has VSAN File Services enabled already, first disable vSAN File Services and retry the operation. Please note that if you transition to a cluster that is managed by a single image, vSphere Lifecycle Manager cannot be disabled on that cluster.


If hardware support manager is unavailable for a cluster that you manage with a single image, where a firmware and drivers addon is selected and vSphere HA is enabled, the vSphere HA functionality is impacted. You may experience the following errors.


Disabling and re-enabling vSphere HA during remediation process of a cluster, may fail the remediation process due to vSphere HA health checks reporting that hosts don't have vSphere HA VIBs installed. You may see the following error message: Setting desired image spec for cluster failed.


In large clusters with more than 16 hosts, the recommendation generation task could take more than an hour to finish or may appear to hang. The completion time for the recommendation task depends on the number of devices configured on each host and the number of image candidates from the depot that vSphere Lifecycle Manager needs to process before obtaining a valid image to recommend.


Some settings in the VMware config file /etc/vmware/config are not managed by Host Profiles and are blocked, when the config file is modified. As a result, when the host profile is applied to a cluster, the EVC settings are lost, which causes loss of EVC functionalities. For example, unmasked CPUs can be exposed to workloads.


Starting with vSphere 7.0 Update 3, the inbox i40enu network driver for ESXi changes name back to i40en. The i40en driver was renamed to i40enu in vSphere 7.0 Update 2, but the name change impacted some upgrade paths. For example, rollup upgrade of ESXi hosts that you manage with baselines and baseline groups from 7.0 Update 2 or 7.0 Update 2a to 7.0 Update 3 fails. In most cases, the i40enu driver upgrades to ESXi 7.0 Update 3 without any additional steps. However, if the driver upgrade fails, you cannot update ESXi hosts that you manage with baselines and baseline groups. You also cannot use host seeding or a vSphere Lifecycle Manager single image to manage the ESXi hosts. If you have already made changes related to the i40enu driver and devices in your system, before upgrading to ESXi 7.0 Update 3, you must uninstall the i40enu VIB or Component on ESXi, or first upgrade ESXi to ESXi 7.0 Update 2c.


*Update 06/17/21* - A few of my readers in the comments below suggested changing the size of the image to 12900.1 & 13100.1 to account for all the current OS updates as this guide was written for the initial release of Big Sur. So please ignore the screenshot below that has a volume size of 12700.1m and follow the command above.


Now that the .iso is in the datastore, it's time to prep the host to be able to run macOS in a VM. There is an unlocker written in python that modifies the vmware-vmx file to allow macOS to boot. Without this unlocker, it simply doesn't work and just does a boot loop. It'll show the Apple Logo loading screen and then ultimately displays an error.


Hi, I install Big Sur on my PC, after installation it work fine, install an update 11.2 and still work fine, but 11.3 is not working it it crash back to the login screen also the 11.3 beta 2 and same thing. is there a fix? using vmware workstation 16.0. thanks 2ff7e9595c
