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. Ive also tried mounting the InstallESD.dmg image from both my Moutain Lion and Mavericks installers. 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. Create a new VM, Mac OS X/Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (64bit) Created an empty hard disk (.vdi) Ive tried attaching the second drive to my DVD-RW drive that had a 10.8 installer DVD in it. 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). C’est le cas pour OS X Snow Leopard (10.6), ainsi qu’OS X Lion (10.7) et même OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). Was suggested that I reinstall Parallel Tools.
