OSX BETA UPDATE

Your crashing boot loop is happening because Ventura is trying to execute missing instructions, which don't work on your Mac, so the kernel panics and reboots (every time). Virtualisation means the instructions are executed by the real processor, so if the guest OS in the VM needs a newer processor, there is no workaround. It doesn't make any difference whether you are using ESXi, VMware Fusion or a competing virtualisation product. As I said in my previous message, it will not be possible to run Ventura in a VM on that model because its processor is too old, and Ventura is known to require the use of features introduced in newer processors. Hope this helps figuring out why not running on my ESXi (7.0U3). I'm running ESXi on a MacPro 6.1 (trashcan) 6 CPUs x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v2 3.50GHz.

OSX BETA UPDATE

That range includes Mid/Late 2013 Macs (apart from the Mac Pro mentioned above), all 2014-2016 Macs, and the 2017 MacBook Air.Īny early successful results running a beta version of Ventura in a VM on an unsupported Mac should be considered provisional - Apple could make code changes in later beta or public releases which add more dependencies on newer processors, therefore your VM is at risk of breaking with every software update from I missed that question. There may be parts of Ventura using other features introduced after Haswell: depending on exactly which feature is needed, this may cause problems or prevent running Ventura in a VM on Macs with a Haswell (4th gen), Broadwell (5th gen) or Skylake (6th gen) processor. The most recent model this affects is the Late 2013 Mac Pro, which has an Ivy Bridge Xeon it also affects all Early 2013 or older Macs. It is known that some parts of Ventura are using AVX2 instructions which were introduced in Haswell, therefore any Mac with an Ivy Bridge (3rd gen) or older processor is not going to be able to run Ventura in a VM. This would apply whether booting natively or running macOS in a VM (Fusion hosted on an older macOS version, or ESXi).

For Intel Macs the cutoff point is that all supported models (2017 or later excluding the 2017 MacBook Air) have a Kaby Lake (7th gen) or newer processor, all excluded models have a Skylake (6th gen) or older processor.įor comparison, Monterey ran on selected models with Ivy Bridge (3rd gen) or newer processors, as did several preceding macOS versions.īecause of the higher minimum processor implied by the list of supported Mac models, macOS Ventura expects it can use instructions and hardware features which were introduced in Haswell (4th gen), Broadwell (5th gen), Skylake (6th gen) or Kaby Lake (7th gen). Ventura raised the minimum Mac model requirement by about two years compared to Monterey. You didn't answer a key question from which processor does your host Mac have, or alternatively, exactly which model is it? I have tried those changes but still not working. I am not sure if it can be use to you, but here it you. My Fusion configuration is just out of the box (as if macOS 11 client) with those two changes. ) to get Ventura running on ESX.Ĥ) With Ventura (or Monetary) on Fusion, the key changes are to ethernet (use vmxnet3) and graphics (svga.present='FALSE'ĪppleGPU0.present='TRUE'). So I expect that you can use Monterey on ESX recipes (e.g. Ivy Bridge or older, give up (lack of AVX2).ģ) macOS 13 Ventura installs on Fusion in exactly the same as macOS 12 Monterey on Fusion. Having said that:ġ) I don't know your knowledge and skills, but have you already got previous versions of macOS running on ESX?Ģ) What Intel processor are you using? Skylake and older there are question marks. I have almost zero skills with ESXi, and my skills with tricky VMWare Fusion things is to follow (with understanding) other peoples recipes.
