Dedicated Os X – Mac
Settings for the VM .vmx file
if you’re on a non-Apple Hardware :
smbios.reflectHost = "FALSE"
smc.present = "TRUE"
smc.version = "0"
Force a specific model
You need the board-id and model
( example for below for a MacPro3,1 )
board-id.reflectHost = "FALSE"
board-id = "Mac-F42C88C8"
hw.model.reflectHost = "FALSE"
hw.model = "MacPro3,1"
Get a 12 characters serial number like Mac Hardware :
serialNumber.reflectHost = "FALSE"
serialNumber = "VM700001KXYL"
SMBIOS.use12CharSerialNumber = "TRUE"
For example, I cloned an old Mac mini 10.6.8 Server on ESXI on an XServe2,1, and simply used asr to restore it on the VM’s HDD. Handy.
