Copy the ISO installation image of Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra to the datastore by using VMware Embedded Host Client, VMware vSphere Client or WinSCP if you have not yet copied the image.Siri tends to work better on the Host in my experience, so we’ll be examining how to make it a smooth experience in a VM as well. Overall, I’ve found that macOS Sierra as a Host and as a Guest work pretty well.
It’s possible that this ‘goes away’ when Apple moves to the public beta branch (it has different debugging code enabled than the developer previews), but we’ll be keeping a close eye on things as they develop and share what we learn. The simple work around for now is to disable 3D graphics acceleration (per-VM setting). Once it’s up and you’ve installed VMware Tools, you can drag the ‘Install 10.12 Developer Preview.app’ onto the desktop of your 10.11 VM, double-click it and begin the install.įor folks that don’t have the time or who want to walk through a fresh installation there is a multi-step method that I’ve written about here that will show you the way and explain what’s happening along the trip.įor folks who want to run Sierra on the Mac itself and use Fusion, there is a bit of a bug that we’re working on, but there’s an easy workaround.Ĭurrently if you try to run a VM it will fail/crash with an ‘Internal Error’. The first one is pretty easy, and you can make an OS X 10.11 VM using the recovery partition with just a couple of clicks from File > New. Manually create the bootable install image and attach it to an empty 10.11 VM.app to create the bootable install image, but because the layout is different due to debugging code, it fails with an ‘Internal Error’. We specifically require a certain block layout of the. The reason is that Developer Preview builds have debugging code included which changes the memory layout of the installer. Users have been excited to run this in a VM to test, but it doesn’t “just work” in Fusion yet unfortunately. With a new name, macOS, Apple seems to be getting away from the OS X moniker and aligning with the rest of the OS’s that it has in it’s bag: tvOS, iOS, watchOS, and now macOS. Hot off the heels of WWDC, Apple has made available the next major update to it’s flagship operating system for Mac.
