![]() In a Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal), type the following without the quotes, including the trailing space, however do not press Enter yet and note that the following contains lowercase L's, not ones: "ls -lAF "Ģ. Need to see a file listing of the target Virtual Machine Package and you can use the directions below to get it in the preferred form.ġ. ![]() In the worse case (assuming no hope), is it possible to data files from the wreckage of the VM? If this file was moved, please provide its new location" This file is required to power on this virtual machine. Now, when I try to start the VM, I get the dreaded message: "File not found: Windows XP Professional.vmdk. VMWare started to do it's thing (took a very long time) and ended with a 'file not found' error'. I did a cursory check into the help files (with my foggy-sick brain) and thought that this was not the correct setting, so I unchecked it and clicked 'apply'. So I powered down and pulled up the VM Settings> Hard Disks and saw that the 'Split into 2GB Files' was checked'. I could read the files from the various folders, but explorer could not read the HDD. When I got into the VM and tried to open an explorer window, the VM coudn't read the HDD (it had that animated 'searching' icon). So I powered down the iMac completely, let it sit, then restarted everything. So I thought perhaps I need to power off the Mac in case there is some sort of HDD conflict. I tried powering the VM off and closing VMWare, but when I restarted it the VM showed a 40GB HDD (even though the settings showed it at 80). I started up the VM and the HDD was still at 40GB. ![]() I changed the VM's HDD from 40 to 80 GB and clicked apply. VMWare did it's thing and removed all of the snapshots (took a LONG time). I was prompted that I cannot make changes to the VM's HDD if there were any snapshots so (cringe) I removed them all. I needed to increase it (and have the space), so I powered down the VM and tried to change the HDD size. I have a Virtual Machine of WinXP Pro SP3 (32-bit). No need to chastize me - I am already beating myself up pretty badly. Unitrends Support can render no official support to the scenario described in this article as OS X on esxi even on apple hardware is not a licensed or supported configuration.I made the supreme mistake of trying to work on my computer when I am sick and not thinking clearly. Unitrends Supports OS in VMs that are supported by the VM Platform vendor for that edition, and which are properly licensed by their OS vendor. VMWare itself does not officially support OS X on ESXi. Per VMWare documentation linked here, OS X is only supported on VMWare Fusion running on Apple hardware. Per Apple EULA this is not a licensed deployment option. Please note, the above article content does not condone or imply Unitrends or Kaseya support for OS X in esxi.

Click on the ‘Configuration Parameters.’ button seen on right.Right click the VM and click on ‘Edit Settings’.To boot up the Mac OS X VM successfully, following steps must be followed on the vSphere Client – After Restoring the VM, if this property is not found, then, the VM wouldn’t boot up. This happens because Mac OS VMs have a non-generic property. ![]() When trying to boot it in Safe Mode, similar results are seen. But, when the VM is booted up on the vSphere Client, it is stuck at the boot screen (showing the Apple logo). When it is Restored back to an ESX Server, the Restore is shown as ‘SUCCESSFUL’ on the Unitrends User Interface. DescriptionĪ VMware VM running Mac OS X guest was Backed up from an ESX Server using Unitrends’ vprotect mechanism (i.e., without an agent). To let customers know that a Restored Mac OS X VMware Virtual Machine (VM) may not boot up correctly or may boot infinitely.
