Re-sending to correct subject.
Hi all
In recent versions of Vmware Fusion it is possible to create a virtual
machine running recent versions of Os X client and all versions of Os X
server. To do this:
1. In the Mac App Store Download the version of Os X you wish to run in
your virtual machine. If you can go for Mavericks but if not Lion and
Mountain Lion are supported. You can usually download these from the
purchased section of the App Store.
2. When the installer runs, do not continue but instead press command-q
to quit the installer. Failure to do this and the required .app file
which you will use later will be deleted during installation.
3. Now you're ready to create a new virtual machine in Fusion. So open
Fusion and press Command-N to run the new virtual machine assistant.
4. Choose to use an installation disk or image.
Note
You can also use the recovery partition to install Os X this way. This
can be found by first clicking the more options button. From this point
on I will assume you will be using the .app file for Os X you downloaded
earlier.
5. When prompted select choose disk image... in the popup button. Locate
the .app file for Os X and press return to continue.
6. Since Fusion detects that this is an Os X installer all you need to
do is click finish button. You can also customize the virtual machine
here by clicking customize settings button. But I recommend you leave
these alone for now.
7. Start the virtual machine by clicking the startup button.
Note
For best results, please turn off VoiceOver on the host side. You can
then turn on VoiceOver inside the virtual machine to talk you through
the installer and to use Os X in general.
If you have any problems or questions with these instructions please
give us a shout on or off list. I'm saying this since I am new to
virtualizing Os X myself. Also note the above instructions assume you
are using Fusion 6. Earlier versions may therefore have slightly
different results.
Happy virtualizing!
Regards Chris
