There are various articles out there on how to do this in Terminal.app. It will not accept a DMG.ĭiskMakerX used to be able to create ISO images - this was back in the Lion DiskMaker era, it no longer has this function. Snow Leopard (Server), or an ISO image created from say Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite. VirtualBox will only accept either the old DVD retail installer disc for e.g.
VMware Fusion and Parallels make creating OS X guests very easy, they can do this using the downloaded OS X installer from the App Store, VirtualBox however is old school and very, very fussy.

You can redownload the installer and extract the install imageįrom the package. If you have previously purchased Lion or Mountain Lion, The RecoveryHD on the host and do an internet recovery VM software helps to make sure I don't have to have them.Īctually, with Parallels9, if you have OSX Lion or laterĪs the host OS, you can create an OSX VM with no disksĪnd just an internet connection. I don't have the room for nine different computers. I do troubleshooting for clients and forums (here as well as Adobe) and I NEED multiple environments to recreate scenarios in "real world" environments, or as close to it as the VM can get, which is pretty darned close.

From a software developers viewpoint, this could be useful for troubleshooting different software builds against different osx versions and update levels without having to have dozens of physical machines. I'd like to run a few different versions in vm's so that I have separate environments. To some of the local "Geniuses" I know, it still wouldn't matter. Unless they brought both into Apple for service at the same time and specifically mentioned that they were installed from the same disc, it probably wouldn't matter much. I'm pretty sure it would be treated the same as if someone had an iMac and a MacBook, and bought ONE OS install disc, then used it for BOTH systems. I would love to know how the licensing works. Lion and then did the AppStore upgrade for it.īut can anyone say for sure that it is really legal to run osx in a vm even if the host is osx? Perhaps if you paid for both the host osx and the guest osx versions? But surely this still breaks the EULA because a vm is not a mac.
I installed the Mavericks VM I had by doing exactly what you described - installed Mt. I guess you could then in turn upgrade the vm to mavericks for free? But I dont know if that would work.
Its really cheap for what it is - I paid £20 I think. Well this is a guess here but what if you buy osx mountain lion from the mac app store? It gives you a full dmg download.
