Mac OS X UnlockerforVMware V2.0
1.Introduction
---------------
Unlocker2is designed forWorkstation11,Player7andFusion7.
If you are using an earlier product please continueusingUnlocker1
Version2 has been tested against:
*Workstation11 on WindowsandLinux
*Player7 on WindowsandLinux
*Fusion7 on MavericksandYosemite
Radio scanner software for mac os x 10. Scan To – You can choose a different folder than the default, which is your Pictures folder for some reason, even though the default format is PDF. It would make more sense to have Documents as your default folder, but whatever.
*(Currentlyis does not work on ESXi6.0)
The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the product
being patched:
*Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow Mac OS X to boot
*Fix vmwarebase .dll or.so to allow Apple to be selected during VM creation
* A copy of the latest VMwareToolsfor OS X is included
Note that not all products recognise the darwin.iso via install tools menu item.
You will have to manually mount the darwin.iso for example on WorkstationandPlayer.
The vmwarebase code does not need to be patched on OS X so you will see a
message on those systems telling you that it will not be patched.
In all cases make sure VMwareisnot running,and any background guests have
been shutdown.
The code is now Pythonas it makes the Unlocker easier to run and maintain on ESXi.
There are some challenges to write the code asESXi has a subset of Python2.7 which
constrains some modules that can be used.
2.Prerequisites
----------------
The code requires Python2.7 to work.MostLinux distros and OS X ship with a compatible
Python interpreter and should work without requiring any additional software.
Windows will need a version of Python installed and the code has been tested against:
CPython- https://www.python.org/downloads/
ActiveStatePython- http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads
IronPython- https://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/169382
The python.exe file must be on the executable PATH.If it isnot on PATH please
edit win-install.cmd to point to the installation path.
3.Limitations
--------------
TheUnlocker currently does not work on ESXi6.
TheUnlocker does not remove the check for server versions for OS X Leopardand
SnowLeopard(10.5and10.6).
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| IMPORTANT:|
||
||
|If you create a new VM using version 11 hardware VMware will stop and|
| create a core dump.There are two options to work around this issue:|
||
|1.Change the VM to be HW 10-this does not affect performance.|
|2.Edit the VMX file and add:|
| smc.version =0|
||
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Work continues to find solutions to the limitations.
