Make sure to use "sudo" if you want the display resolution to persist through a system reboot. The syntax for the vmware-resolutionSet utility is pretty straight forward, it accepts a width and height argument. One thing to note is that there is a known issue right now for VMware Fusion 8.1 related to NAT and port forwarding, you may want to hold off on upgrading if you rely on this feature.

You can find it under '/Library/Application Support/VMware Tools'.
#Mac os x iso vmware update
UPDATE (12/11/15)- Thanks to reader it looks like the latest VMware Fusion 8.1 release now includes an updated version of VMware Tools (10.0.5) which includes the vmware-resolutionSet utility. Although this tool has not been officially released and must go through the standard release process, the plan is to include it in a future update of VMware Tools and will available for use with both VMware Fusion and vSphere. You will need to ensure you have VMware Tools installed and running before you can use this utility. As of right now, customers can get a hold of this utility by filing an SR with VMware Support and referencing PR 1385761.

The workaround that has been developed is a tiny standalone command-line utility called vmware-resolutionSet which runs within the Mac OS X Guest and allows you to configure a custom display resolution. Given this is a non-trivial fix, VMware Engineering has been working hard on a providing a workaround which would still allow users to set a custom resolution from within the GuestOS. The reason for this behavior is that Apple has changed the way in which it remembers previously used modes and would automatically fall back to this versus retaining the custom mode using the Display Preferences.

Once the install has run through, you can power it off and remove the lines you added in the vmx file in Part 3.For customers who are running Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or newer in a Virtual Machine, you may have noticed that you can no longer set a custom display resolution beyond the default 1024x768 in either VMware Fusion and vSphere, regardless of the amount of video memory that has been allocated. Ignition, launch! All should be working at this point and your VM should be booting up just fine, unless either one of us messed up somewhere along the line. Sata0:2.fileName = "macOS_installmedia.vmdk" Use your favourite editor, such as vi or nano, then add these lines (added mine right below the first set of sata0*** lines to macOS.vmx (or whatever you happen to call your VM): sata0:2.present = "TRUE" Navigate to it, in my case that would be ~/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized/macOS.vmwarevm Unfortunately you can’t attach an existing vmdk that happens to be a rawDisk, so we need to edit the vmx file for our VM. What we have now, is a vmdk pointer that refers to our mounted sparsedisk (thus, don’t try and unmount the sparsedisk). Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/disk2 2 ~/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized/macOS.vmwarevm/macOS_installmedia lsilogic Specify the path so that the resulting vmdk is created inside your freshly created VM’s folder (just simplifies the next step). Next we need to create a vmdk, for this we use ‘vmware-rawdiskCreator’. Look for the volume “Install 10.12 Developer Preview” and note the device id for that disk, in my environment this was: ‘/dev/disk2’ The newly created install media should still be mounted, if not just mount the macOS_installmedia.sparseimage again.īefore we start, you need the device id of the mounted sparse disk, so run ‘diskutil list’. Next use ‘createinstallmedia' from the macOS Installer: sudo /Applications/Install\ 10.12\ Developer\ Preview.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia -volume /Volumes/macOS_installmedia -applicationpath /Applications/Install\ 10.12\ Developer\ Preview.app Mount it (or double-click in Finder to mount): hdiutil mount ~/Desktop/macOS_installmedia.sparseimage hdiutil create -size 6GB -fs JHFS+ -volname "macOS_installmedia" -type SPARSE ~/Desktop/macOS_installmedia Part 1: Creating the installer disk image.įire up Disk Utility and create a blank sparse disk image or use 'hdiutil', whichever you like.
