I tested on VirtualBox and it does not work.īy default, VMware does not provide the option to create macOS and Mac OS X machines. Fortunately there is a tool that helps me unlock this option, this tool is VMware macOS Unlocker. It supports Windows, Linux and MacOS. Skip this step if you were able to create a macOS virtual machine. I created a virtual disk containing the macOS installer, you just downloaded it, attached it to the virtual machine, and installed it. I’m not sure if VMware Workstation 12 supports macOS 10.14 virtual machines, but version 14 and 15 has support.

This article will guide you how to install macOS Mojave on VMware Workstation.

From Windows, you can use Clover Boot Disk to create macOS Mojave bootable USB with just a few clicks. But not all hardware is supported, and you also need to refer to a lot of documentation so that macOS can be installed and running on your computer.Īn easier way to experience macOS right on a computer running Windows or Linux is to install macOS on VMware Workstation. The advantage of this is that you will be familiar with the installation and use without affecting the settings on the computer. By using virtual machines, you can use macOS and Windows or Linux simultaneously. Using virtual disks ensures that all data on the real disks will not be affected. But I noticed running macOS on the VM is very slow, although I set it up to 4GB of RAM.

MacOS is a proprietary operating system that runs on Apple Macs. There are now many techniques you can use to install macOS on your Intel PC (Hackintosh). Thanks Darius for sharing this with me and the community! I am sure this will come in handy for anyone wanting to test Mac OS X guests under ESXi but do not have a physical ESXi host and can easily substitute using VMware Fusion.MacOS Mojave is the latest version of the macOS operating system, you can easily install macOS Mojave on VMware Workstation. Here are a couple of screenshots of performing this on my iMac at home running the same exact configuration: In our case, we did add the following two entries and we now run our Mac OS X Guest. We can also confirm this by check the Nested ESXi MOB by pointing a browser to the following URL: If you did not add the two entries above, then the smcPresent property would show up as false. This will allow the passing of the underlying SMC up into the Nested ESXi VM which will then allow Mac OS X guest VMs to properly function. The solution that Darius found was to add the following two Advanced VM Settings (VMX) entries to the ESXi VM: In the scenario above, the Nested ESXi VM is not automatically passing through the SMC from the physical Mac OS X system and hence the Mac OS X VM at the very top of the stack will not properly function. The way in which ESXi detects that the underlying hardware is Apple is by checking whether Apple's SMC (System Management Controller) is available. The reason for this is not a technical challenges, but rather a legal one per Apple's EULA. The issue with just simply doing this is that for a Mac OS X guest to properly run on ESXi, the underlying hardware must be Apple Hardware. Here is a quick diagram of the user setup: Not having a physical ESXi host to test with, the next best thing was to run a ESXi VM under VMware Fusion and then run the Mavericks guest on top of that. The user was running VMware Fusion on his physical Mac OS X system and wanted to be able to test OS X Mavericks under ESXi. You might be asking, why would anyone want to do this? Well, luckily this is not a "because you can" type of answer but was it was an interesting solution that one of our VMware Engineers ( Darius) had shared with me after helping out on this VMTN Community forum thread.
