bojanski Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks. Hopefully VMware is going to fix it soon... Btw: you mentioned a page, where VMware tells that they are aware of it. What's the direct link? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/267296-esxi-5-mac-os-x-unlocker/page/10/#findComment-1819992 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUnF Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hi guys, I was postponing the SL/L installation on my ESXi 5 then today i found this topic. My host is running ESXi 5.0.0 build 623860, i think that´s only one fix missing at VMWare´s site. Is the fix version 1.1.0 compatible with my installation ? I read the scripts and got confused about at which folder specific should i run them ... create a folder at datastore1, chmod +x and run install.sh ?

oegie Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi, is there any documentation out there how to modify a vanilla Snow Leopard installation so that it runs on ESXi 5.0 in "hackintosh" mode without the need for an Unlocker? Or is there any method to overcome the need to restart my Management Services every 4-5 vMotions already known? Any help would be greatly appreciated... :-) Best regards, oegie Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/267296-esxi-5-mac-os-x-unlocker/page/10/#findComment-1821439 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thasmots Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 That is an information message. Nothing to worry about. Works just perfect -even with vCenter-. Thank you very much.

oegie Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi thasmots, Could you please describe what you mean with "working perfect with vCenter"? Is it now possible to start OSX VMs through vCenter and also to move them around in the cluster? This would be indeed perfect! cheers, oegie Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/267296-esxi-5-mac-os-x-unlocker/page/10/#findComment-1821763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be indeed perfect! cheers, oegie You only need to start the VM directly connected to the standalone ESXi. I don't try to migrate allready.

oegie Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Ah, ok. Using vCenter together with the patched ESXi hosts does not allow you to migrate the VMs from one host to another. You also cannot move non-OSX VMs around after a few vMotion operations. As a workaround you can restart the Management Processes on the hosts or restart them. Then you can use vMotion again for a couple of times. So the patch works flawlessly in a single host environment, but not in a vCenter context. But that is definitely better than not being able to run OSX...

I`ve prcessed patch on my esxi v5, and i can install and start OSx snowleopard well BUT, after sime time i use it for some ordinary tasks(using apple email(imap), ical, address book(ldap) or even browsing the Internet) vm just hangs and stops answering on any mouse\keyboard keys, to get it back i need to reset VM, it helps till next hang, others vms started on this ESX works perfectly as always.

SUPERMAC512 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hello I installed Lion Server on VMware esxi 5.0 721882. It works normally about 8 Weeks. Yesterday the Lion Server Crashed. The Problem is that after I Restart the VM it shows the Error Message "Darwin11_64Guest not Supported" When I restart the complete esxi host Lion run only once (Without Darwin11 Guest Error). The next startup stops with Darwin11_64Guest Error Message. What can I do? Regards Florian I have an work around. The Problem is shows only when I start the VM with VMWare vCenter. When I Connect directly with the client, the startup works without any Problems. Is there a workaround to startup the Lion Client with VM vCenter?
