VMware Fusion can run any of hundreds of operating systems provided by the user, including many older versions of macOS, which gives users a way to run older Mac application software that can no longer be run under the current version of macOS, such as 32-bit apps and Rosetta ( PowerPC) apps. VMware Fusion 1.0 was released on August 6, 2007, exactly one year after being announced. Much of the underlying technology in VMware Fusion is inherited from other VMware products, such as VMware Workstation, allowing VMware Fusion to offer features such as 64-bit and SMP support. VMware Fusion uses Intel VT present in the Intel Core microarchitecture platform. Try it and then decide if you want to buy it.VMware Fusion, which uses a combination of paravirtualization and hardware virtualization made possible by the Mac transition to Intel processors in 2006, marked VMware's first entry into Macintosh-based x86 virtualization.
Once you install VMware Fusion, you can easily create an OS X virtual machine from "New" and then "Install OS X from the recovery partition." You can download a trial version of VMware that is good for 30 days. I think you want to buy VMware Fusion, not ESXi. You can take a "Snapshot" of your OS X virtual machine, run a test, and then restore the Snapshot, so that your OS X virtual machine is back to the way it was before the test. VMware Fusion is a powerful program that lets you do many things. You can create as many OS X virtual machines as you want. VMware says a lot about Windows in its advertising because so many customers want to run Windows on their Macs, but you can ignore the advertisements and run only OS X in your virtual machines. You can run "OS X on top of OS X" just as you wish, and never look at Windows. You decide which operating systems you want to install. You can run almost any operating system in VMware Fusion, including Windows, OS X, Linux, BSD, DOS, and many obscure operating systems. In the menu that appears on the right side, choose "Install OS X from the recovery partition". In VMware Fusion, choose File->New to create a new virtual machine. VMware Fusion can use the built-in Recovery Partition to create a new OS X virtual machine on your Mac. To boot into the Recovery Partition, hold down Command-R when you boot your Mac. When you install the OS X operating system on a Mac, it also installs a hidden "Recovery Partition." The Recovery Partition can be used to fix problems, all the way up to re-installing OS X on your Mac. If you install ESXi on a regular PC that is not a Mac, then you cannot run OS X in virtual machines on it.Ģ. If you install ESXi on a Mac, then you can create and run OS X virtual machines on it. After that, you run virtual machines on it. You install ESXi like an operating system on your computer, such as a Mac or PC computer, then boot ESXi. You can run OS X virtual machines from inside VMware Fusion.ĮSXi: This is like an operating system that runs virtual machines. You boot your Mac in OS X, then launch VMware Fusion like any other application (e.g., Safari).
VMware Fusion: VMware Fusion is an application that runs in OS X. VMware ESXi does support OS X virtual machines, but you must be running ESXi on a real Apple Mac in order to run OS X virtual machines on it. I don't want any windows at all in my mac, no windows os relation on my mac. Document says " VMware Fusion enables you to run your Windows applications and PC-only devices on your Intel-based Mac.". Could you tell me, what does mean " create an OS X VM from the recovery partition" ?ģ. Does "VMware ESXi" not supported to virtualize Mac OS X? how VMware Fusion different from VMware ESXi?Ģ. I have few questions here, please clarify,ġ.
