Next, we need to add 2 options to handle some display issues. Or, it could be a jumble of characters! serialNumber.reflectHost = "FALSE"
MAC ISO FOR WMWARE SERIAL NUMBER
Or, it can be the Serial Number of the Mac you’re working from. This can be a serial number of a Mac in Apple Business Manager your using to test an Automated Enrollment flow. These are important if you want to MDM enrol your VM, this helps the VM present the ‘correct’ version info. You can find a list of Board ID and HW Models here. Next, we need to set the Board ID and Hardware Model based on the device we want to reflect to the VM. Hold the Option key and right click on the VM.įirst of all, search for “board-id.reflectHost” and set it from True to False. DO NOT POWER IT ON YET! Step 2 – Set your VMX Settingsįirst, we need to change an option, and set some new ones.įrom the Virtual Machine Library, find your new macOS 12 Beta VM. Next, in settings, change your Network Adaptor to disabled, with Bridged Networking set to Autodetect.Ĭlose out of these options, and you’ll be left with a powered off VM. It will default to macOS 11.0, I changed mine to 12.0 Beta. You want around 80GB on your VM disk, to allow for upgrades and such after. Load the ISO in, and select your Operating system. I did all my testing in VMware Fusion Professional Version 12.1.2 (17964953). Once this is done, you can then start to build your VM in Fusion. If you get any size errors from the createinstallmedia command, asking for more space, delete your initial DMG and up the 13350m size accordingly.

MAC ISO FOR WMWARE INSTALL
Once you have your Install macOS 12 Beta app, follow the below steps one by one.
MAC ISO FOR WMWARE TRIAL
After trial and error this can come down to just over 13GB. The whole process took about 5 minutes in a Big Sur VM, and my terminal output looked like this. Hat tip to Frederik Abeloos – the Travelling Tech Guy. I also have to do this from a VM as my work managed Mac blocks me from installing Betas, and copying around the ISO is more reliable than the. Once you have downloaded the Install macOS 12 Beta.app, I find it useful to convert it to an ISO before loading in Fusion. So if you’re trying to get Monterey working in VMware Fusion and having some issues, read on! MacOS Monterey was announced on the 7th June, and of course like good Digital Workspace people we were right into testing mode! during initial Fusion testing we were running into some fun errors/delays, which we have worked out and documented here.
