VMware Fusion Pro 12.1.2 Build 17964953 macOS

VMware Fusion gives Mac users the power to run Windows on Mac along with hundreds of other operating systems side by side with Mac applications, without rebooting. Fusion is simple enough for home users and powerful enough for IT professionals, developers and businesses.

Run Nearly Any Operating System on a Mac Running Windows on Mac is only the beginning. VMware Fusion lets you choose from hundreds of supported operating systems, from lesser-known Linux distributions to the latest Windows 10 release.

Connect to VMware vSphere Securely connect with vSphere, ESXi and Workstation servers to launch, control and manage both virtual machines (VMs) and physical hosts. Thanks to the common VMware platform, VMs can be easily transferred from the vSphere data center to the Mac desktop and then run in Fusion.

Develop and Test for Any Platform Fusion makes it simple to test nearly any OS and app on a Mac. Build and test apps in a sandbox while securely sharing local source files and folders. Fusion Pro now includes a RESTful API to integrate with modern development tools like Docker, Vagrant, Ansible, Chef, and others to fit the power of VMware into today’s Agile and DevOps-oriented production pipelines.

Design and Demo Complex Solutions With the ability to run an entire virtual cloud stack on a single Mac, solution architects can demonstrate their entire software solution in real time, with safe rollback points to return to known configurations.

Installing VMware ESXi on a laptop might seem like an insane thing to do, but it’s useful for testing and demonstration purposes. This guide will show you how to install it on a MacBook Pro.

Hardware requirements

The instructions coming up, should work on most modern Mac systems with a CPU that has hardware assisted virtualization. The steps that follow have been tested on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, 16 GB RAM running Mojave).

The reason why you need a CPU with hardware assisted virtualization, is because we’ll be using VMware Fusion* to run nested virtualization on a Mac.

Why VMware Fusion?

VMware Fusion allows you to pass the hardware assisted virtualization feature of the CPU to a running virtual machine. This is required when running hypervisors like ESXi or KVM inside a VM.

So for this tutorial we’ll be using VMware Fusion 11.5 (Standard)*.

Vmware Fusion For Mac Free Download

Download VMware vSphere ESXi 6.7 ISO

Head over to the VMware vSphere ESXi 6.7 download page and click the Download Now button to get the ISO.

Note

VMware ESXi is free when using only the basic features, and when you first install it, you get to try all the advanced features for 60 days.

Creating a VMware vSphere ESXi 6.7 virtual machine with VMware Fusion

Open VMware Fusion* and then click on the + icon in the toolbar.

Click New…

Select Create a custom virtual machine and then click Continue.

Select VMware ESX then VMware ESXi 6.x and then Continue.

Leave the firmware type as UEFI and then click Continue.

Click Continue to create a 40 GB virtual disk.

Click the Customize Settings button so that we can attach the ISO.

You will be asked to save the virtual machine. Give it a name and then click Save.

Once the VM is saved, the settings screen will load. Click on CD/DVD (IDE).

Click on the dropdown and select the Choose a disc or disc image… option.

Browse to the VMware ESXi ISO that you downloaded and then click Open.

Tick the Connect CD/DVD Drive option and then close the settings window.

We are now ready to install VMWare ESXi on the virtual machine.

Installing VMware vSphere ESXi 6.7 on a VMware Fusion virtual machine

Click the play icon to start the ESXi virtual machine we created in the previous step and wait for the VMware ESXi hypervisor to load.

Press Enter at the welcome screen.

Press F11 to accept the EULA and continue the installation. You might not be able to use the FN key to get F11 inside a virtual machine on the Mac.

You can send F11 to the virtual machine by clicking Virtual Machine, Send Key and then clicking on F11.

Tip

You can remove the keyboard focus from the virtual machine by pressing Control + Command on a Mac.

Choose the disk you want to install ESXi on and then press Enter.

Select your keyboard layout and then press Enter.

Enter a password for the root user and then press Enter.

Send the F11 key to the virtual machine again to confirm and finish the installation.

Press Enter to reboot the virtual machine and load ESi for the first time.

ESXi 6.7 should now be installed and ready to configure.

Configuring the ESXi management network

As you can see from the image in the previous step, the management IP address of my ESXi host is 0.0.0.0. This is because I have the network adapter connected to a VMware Fusion network that has DHCP disabled.

If your host doesn’t have an IP, you’ll need to configure it using the steps coming up. If you do have an IP that was assigned via DHCP, I’d suggest you change it to a static IP so that you know it won’t change when the host reboots.

To configure the network press F2 and then login with your root password.

Select Configure Management Network and then press Enter.

Select IPv4 Configuration and then press Enter.

Change the IP type to static by highlighting the Set static IPv4 address and network configuration and then pressing Space.

Type in the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway then press Enter.

Tip

You can find out the gateway by running ifconfig at the terminal and by adding 1 to the inet address of the vmnet8 interface. For example, mine is 10.1.1.1 so the gateway is 10.1.1.2. If you’re using DHCP, you can find out what part of the range you can use for static IP addresses in this tutorial.

Download Vmware Fusion Pro

You may notice my network address is different to yours. That’s because I’ve changed it and disabled DHCP by editing the /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/networking config file and restarting VMware Fusion.

Select the DNS Configuration and then press Enter.

Vm Fusion Download

Select Use the following DNS server addresses and hostname by pressing Space. Type in the gateway IP in the Primary DNS Server box and the name of the host in the hostname box and then press Enter.

Press ESC to exit the network configuration screen. You’ll then be asked to confirm the changes by pressing Y.

Press ESC again to exit settings and you should now see the IP address we can use to manage the host.

We can test the connection from the host to the ESXi virtual machine works by typing the address in a web browser.

Final thoughts

VMware Fusion* is a powerful piece of software that lets you do more with your Mac by giving you the ability to run multiple kinds of operating systems like Windows, Linux and even ESXi as demonstrated in this guide.

We showed how easy it was to create a VMware vSphere ESXi virtual machine and have the OS installed in very little time.

It’s easy to get going with the basics of ESXi because its quite intuitive, however there are some really powerful features and advanced concepts that you can learn by reading Mastering VMware vSphere 6.7*
