Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Andy, The 'currentimage.txt' line you were referring to was originally one line, and it was commented out. Chances are, the reason the 'currentimage.txt' line looks weird is probably due to you looking at it from a windows system. The original code has the line commented out. The line contains a 'ctrl-M', which windows is interpreting as a carriage return. So windows breaks the one line into 2 lines at the carriage return (aka ctrl-M). i.e. Original Linux > # # remove carriage returns > #$command .= " && sed -i '' -e \'s/^M//g\' currentimage.txt"; Window's > # # remove carriage returns > # $command .= " && sed -i '' -e \'s/ > //g\' currentimage.txt"; I'm thinking the whole mess should be removed to avoid any problems. I'm sure you already know this, but Windows and Linux text files terminate lines differently.. Windows = + Linux/MAC OSX = Hope this helps, __Jim On 5/17/2012 7:06 AM, Andy Kurth wrote: > Hi Jim, > I made a commit to OSX.pm this morning. I mainly changed the > indentation.

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Andy, Thanks for the head's up. I'll check on the 'currentimage.txt' lines. Currently, I've found that there are at least 3 additional subroutines required for 2.3. I'm in the process of writing the following subroutines. 'check_connection_on_port' 'get_cpu_core_count' 'enable_firewall_port' Josh already made a change to the 'requests.php' that I needed. I'll grap a copy of OSX.pm from the repository, and make sure to include the indentation/space changes. (I'll also remove the comments I left to myself.. sry) __Jim On 5/17/2012 7:06 AM, Andy Kurth wrote: > Hi Jim, > I made a commit to OSX.pm this morning. I mainly changed the > indentation.

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
Hi Jim, I made a commit to OSX.pm this morning. I mainly changed the indentation. For the most part, the Perl code is indented using tabs. I also made some minor indentation/spacing changes to the pod sections so that the output lined up when running pod2text, etc. These sections must be indented using spaces. None of the code functionality should have changed except for possibly one location. My editor was complaining about lines 1843/1844 in the previous revision: 1843: #$command .= " && sed -i '' -e \'s/ 1844: //g\' currentimage.txt"; I'm assuming both of these lines should be commented. I changed it to: 1783: # $command .= " && sed -i '' -e \'s///g\' currentimage.txt"; Please do an 'svn up' and make sure I didn't mess anything up.

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
Hi Jim, Made progress to a point, I wasn't able to get a full blown instance going, but I feel my effort was good enough to prove it can be done and used. Overall the code looks good and as we move forward, possibly in the 2.4 release, I think it would be ideal to put all OS related routines in their respective OS modules, like notify_via_(wall,msg,oascript), etc. In the supporting documentation for this on the vcl wiki somewhere, I recommend to list known working apple hardware. So far I can say that it would work with the Mac Mini 2011 model and your running it on MacPro. I'll work on committing the backend and db components it into trunk on your behalf. I think Josh has already committed the php part. Thanks for the work and sorry it took so long to review it.

Re: VCL-543 OSX under ESXi 4.1
Thanks Jim. Right, I saw that one also. I've got a 2010 mac mini model which also has the keyboard issue. Doesn't seem like it's feasible to use the 2010 model. Going to give it one more shot with trying to do a kickstart install off the dvd. It that doesn't work then I'll try to locate a 2011 model. Overall your code looks good and should work - just would like to test it.

Re: [jira] [Created] (VCL-543) OSX under ESXi 4.1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I did have someone from our campus contact an Apple representative before I wrote the OSX module. Here are the conditions, as I understand them. 1. Must be on Apple hardware. No way around this one. 2a) For Apple Snow Leopard (Server) you must have a license for each instance. 2b) For Apple Lion (Client or Server) you can have 3 instances per license per machine. (one real + 2 virtual, or 3 virtual) 3) The other OSX versions cannot be virtualized. I based my work on Apple Snow Leopard(Server). I didn't have a copy of Lion available as it hadn't been released yet. I suspect the scripts I wrote for things like firewall control are SL specific, and may have to be modified for Lion. Just a bit of info, VMware 5 now supports SL Server as an operating system type(Apple hardware). Maybe this link will be helpful. > http://lists.apple.com/archives/Macos-x-server/2011/Jul/msg00205.html Btw, 'time-sharing' really isn't an issue with iRAPP RDP server. It runs on the console, and only one person at a time can be on the console. Hope this helps, __Jim On 2/24/2012 6:37 AM, Mark Gardner wrote: > Thanks for letting me know.

Also, it requires it to run on only Apple hardware (I'm using old MACPros). My understanding is that OSX server 10.6 requires a license to each instance, while OSX client 10.7 requires 1 license on each hardware platform - but also limits it to running 3 concurrent operating systems. - --- Josh On Friday, February 24, 2012 8:29:15 AM Mark Gardner wrote: > While I am glad to see OSX supported, I was under the impression that > it was against Apple's license.

Re: [jira] [Created] (VCL-543) OSX under ESXi 4.1
This is new with OS X 10.7 (Lion). There are also certain conditions on this. First of all, you need to be running OS X VMs on Apple hardware, and there is a hard limit on the number of virtualized instances that you can run on any machine. Second, the VMs need to be run on a system that is already running Lion. The documents listed in this JIRA issue describe installing VMware ESX as a hypervisor (on Mac Pro hardware) and then running three instances of Lion inside that. I am not sure that entirely conforms to the EULA. My reading of it, at least, is that you need to have an instance of OS X running directly on the hardware. The EULA for Lion states (in section B): B. License from Mac App Store. If you obtained a license for the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) (“Usage Rules”), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license: … (iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software. This is further qualified with the following: The grant set forth in Section 2B(iii) above does not permit you to use the virtualized copies or instances of the Apple Software in connection with service bureau, time-sharing, terminal sharing or other similar types of services. This last clause also potentially conflicts with what the VCL is doing, namely "terminal sharing or other similar types of services". Or is there another way to read this?

Re: [jira] [Created] (VCL-543) OSX under ESXi 4.1
While I am glad to see OSX supported, I was under the impression that it was against Apple's license. Am I out of touch?
