So for a couple months I have been running a Lion Server VM in Fusion on my Mac Pro. I have just installed VMWare Workstation 7.1.4 on my Linux box along with this patch and I wanted to run this VM through here, instead of on my Mac Pro.

 

I was running Fusion 4, but I have made sure the VM version is compatible with 7, I moved the files over to the linux box, opened it up in VMware and changed the guest OS to OS X Server 10.6 64-bit and tried to boot it up. It started to boot but then I get a grey circle-slash and it hangs.

 

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks

I suspect that this is not going to work. There are issues with the LSI SCSI implementation in Workstation before 8.0.2.

 

Thanks for the response.

 

So do you think it would work if I install Workstation 8.0.2? If not, would you happen to have any suggestion for how I can migrate it over?

Ok, well to answer my question: Yes, that will work.

 

I installed 8.0.2 and patched it with this, uninstalled VMware tools from the Fusion VM (Very important step. I didn't do this at first and the VM didn't work right), copied the VM over and it booted up!

 

Thanks Donk for the help and the patch!
