Mac Os X Yosemite Iso For Vmware
Ever wanted to run Mac OS X in a virtual machine for developing or educational purposes? It’s actually quite easy to do.

First of all, you need to download the ISO of Yosemite and VirtualBox. The Yosemite ISO is here, as well as a mirror.
This post is outdated! Please take a look at my revised postOne of the main reason for me to use ESXi instead of other hypervisors such as Hyper-V is the broad amount of different operating systems it supports. Not only is it able to run Windows and Linux, but I’ve been running Mac OS X and even Android for quite some time with great result. In this tutorial I’ll cover how to install Mac OS X on ESXi 5.5 or 6.0.
Prerequisites
You will need a server running ESXi 5.5 or 6.0 (obviously). I haven’t made a guide on installing it yet, but I might do that as well in the upcoming days. Meanwhile there are a lot of guides all over the web and the installation itself is actually much simpler then most. You will also need a real mac in order to download and convert the Yosemite installation disk.
Prepare ESXi for running Apple OS X operating systems
ESXi doesn’t support OS X out of the box. The first thing you will have to do is to download a unlocker tool from insanelymac.com. If you have ESXi 5.5 this tool is for you, or if you are running 6.0 as I am, download this version instead. Please note that you will need to register on the site in order to download these files. In order to install the unlocker tool follow these instructions:
- You need to enable SSH on your ESXi host. In order to do that, login to your host using the VMware vShpere Client and navigate to Configuration->Security Profile. From here click on Properties in the upper right corner where it says Services. The dialog Services Properties should appear and from here you can click on SSH->Options and choose Start and stop with host. Click Start and then close all the open dialogs.
- Depending on your operating system, you will need to download WinSCP or another SCP-client in order to transfer the unlocker-files. Make sure you extract the files somewhere on your client and connect to your ESXi host using the IP-address and the user root. Once connected navigate to
- Now cd into the uploaded directory and ensure the ESXi scripts have execute permissions by running
- Reboot your ESXi host
Note:
1. Any changes you have made to local.sh will be lost. If you have made changes to
that file, you will need to merge them into the supplied local.sh file.
2. The unlocker runs at boot time to patch the relevant files and it now survives
an upgrade or patch to ESXi as local.sh is part of the persisted local state.
Download and create the Yosemite ISO
Now that ESXi is ready, we need to create the Yosemite ISO. For this step I use a real MacBook because I want to grab the latest and greatest Yosemite.dmg from the Appstore. From your Mac, open the Appstore and download Yosemite. Once downloaded minimize the installer.
Open the terminal and change directory to /tmp:
Create a new file for our script:
Paste the following into the file and save:
Now ensure that the scripts has execute permissions by running
Create a virtual Mac OS X VM
The next step should be fairly simple if you have used ESXi before. As usual open your datastore and transfer the iso to wherever you normally store your installation files. Then create a new vm, select Typical and you should be able to select Other and then Apple Mac OS X 10.10 (64-bit). Complete the wizard, mount the ISO and install Mac OS X as usual. Please note that you must format the hard drive using the disk utility before it will be visible in the install wizard.
Configure Mac OS X
It’s very important to install the VMware Tools as soon as possible after the install has finished. Without it Mac OS X might not awake from sleep and in general be very unreliable. I also recommend to turn off sleep and the screensaver in settings as these may cause issues. Especially the screen saver takes up quite a lot of resources.
Known issues
The only known issue so far is that the virtual machine is stuck with a low resolution of 1024 x 768 unless you add a GPU to your server and use pass-through mode. I haven’t tested it, but it should work according to other users. If anyone figures out another workaround for this issue, please share it!
There’s now a way to overcome the resolution limitation using this workaround.

If your machine is part of the mainstream configuration, you can discard the traditional real native partition installation method, while the use of virtual machine method described in this article, not only greatly reduce the problems encountered difficult, but also in the use of Mac OS X to get the experience is excellent the. (This tutorial configuration needs: support hardware virtualization technology (Virtualization) of the CPU. Current mainstream Intel Core series and AMD Athlon series CPU virtualization technology is supported, the name was Intel VT-x and AMD-V.)

Unlocker will automatically stop VMware services, backup VMware program files, program files crack VMware, restart the VMware service and a series of operations, and will automatically end the command line window.
After the break VMware has created a virtual machine system selection dialog:
Create Mac OS X, VMware virtual machines
After Unlocker crack, start VMware Workstation normally create a virtual machine, select 'Apple Mac OS X' (depending on the Mac OS installation disk in the system, select the corresponding version of the correct version, here I use a Mac OS X Mountain Lion, version 10.8 64-bit). Creation process has the following non-default configuration:
(1) in the processor options, select 'Number of cores per processor (each processor cores)' for the two, which can induce a VMware virtual machine automatically enables advanced hardware virtualization technology.

(2) after created, first click on the 'Edit virtual machine settings', the hardware's 'Floppy' delete option is enabled in the display 'Accelerate 3D graphics'.
(3) In Virtual machine configuration, in the Advanced Settings, set the priority of the input capture 'high', and check 'Disable memory page trimming.
With a text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the virtual machine files (where the author is E:Program Files(x86)Virtual_MachinesMac OS XMac OS X.vmx), add a line at the end of the file:

Confirmation is complete, start the VMware virtual machine.

In the 'Mac OS X Utilities' select 'Disk Utility', select the first hard drive on the left and on the right select 'Erase' (the 'Format' select 'Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)'), Click the 'Erase' button to format the current drive.
After formatting the hard disk partition, back to 'Mac OS X Utilities' and click 'Install Mac OS X', enter the installation process.
Completed in a VMware virtual machine after installing Mac OS X, the first thing of course is to install VMware Tools. VMware Tools includes the VMware virtual machine 'hardware' drive, the virtual machine and the host communication between functional support.
