Feb 27, 2016 Re: VMware vSphere Client For Mac OS X 10.9 ebob9 Mar 30, 2015 4:43 PM ( in response to Cyberfed27 ) There was a native client for OSX in preview release of vSphere 6, but it was removed for the final release and no longer works. To install and run Mac OS X operating system in a VMware virtual machine on Windows/Linux/Mac OS X, you have to setup an unlock patch for your VMware product (it can be VMware Workstation, VMware Workstation Player, VMware Fusion or VMware ESXi/vSphere Hypervisor) first, so as to remove this restriction. Note: This resolution can cause vSphere Data Protection (VDP), vRealize Infrastructure Navigator (formerly known as vCenter Infrastructure Navigator), vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA), and other plug-ins (besides the Support Assistant) to disappear from the vSphere Web Client.
What's in the Release NotesThe release notes cover the following topics:What's NewvCSA Authentication for Active Directory:VMware vCenter Server Virtual Appliance (vCSA) is modified to only support AES256-CTS/AES128-CTS/RC4-HMAC encryption for Kerberos authentication between vCSA and Active Directory.

Compatibility and InstallationImportant For virtual machines whose MAC addresses need to remain unique, for example, for licensing reasons, you must validate the MAC addresses against the MAC address requirements and restrictions in this release before upgrading. In your upgrade plans, take into account the detected potential issues that the new requirements and restrictions might cause. Upgrading vSphere ClientAfter you upgrade vCenter Server or the ESXi host to vSphere 5.1 Update 3band attempt to connect to the vCenter Server or the ESXi host using a version of vSphere Client earlier than 5.1 Update 1b, you are prompted to upgrade the vSphere Client to vSphere Client 5.1 Update 3a. The vSphere Client upgrade is mandatory. You must use only the upgraded vSphere Client to access vSphere 5.1 Update 3a. Inventory Service DatabaseThe Inventory Service database does not have a scheduled backup. You should back up the Inventory Service database as part of your regular vCenter Server database administration. To move the Inventory Service database to a different host machine, back up the database on the source machine and restore the database on the destination machine as described in the vSphere Installation and Setup documentation. ESXi, vCenter Server, and vSphere Web Client Version CompatibilityThe VMware Product Interoperability Matrix provides details about the compatibility of current and previous versions of VMware vSphere components, including ESXi, VMware vCenter Server, the vSphere Web Client, and optional VMware products. In addition, check this site for information about supported management and backup agents before installing ESXi or vCenter Server. The vSphere Client and the vSphere Web Client are packaged with the vCenter Server and modules ZIP file. You can install one or both clients from the VMware vCenter™ Installer wizard. Guest Operating System Customization SupportThe Guest OS Customization Support Matrix provides details about the guest operating systems supported for customization. vSphere Client Connections to Linked Mode Environments with vCenter Server 5.xvCenter Server 5.1 can exist in Linked Mode only with other instances of vCenter Server 5.1. Installation Notes for This ReleaseRead the vSphere Installation and Setup documentation for step-by-step guidance on installing and configuring ESXi and vCenter Server. Although the installations are straightforward, several subsequent configuration steps are essential. In particular, read the following:
Upgrades and Installations Disallowed for Unsupported CPUsvSphere 5.1 Update 3 supports only CPUs with LAHF and SAHF CPU instruction sets. During an installation or upgrade, the installer checks the compatibility of the host CPU with vSphere 5.1 Update 3. If your host hardware is not compatible, a purple screen appears with the incompatibility information, and you cannot install or upgrade to vSphere 5.1 Update 3. Upgrades for This ReleaseFor instructions about upgrading vCenter Server and ESX/ESXi hosts, see the vSphere Upgrade documentation. vCenter Server UpgradesvCenter Server 5.1 Update 3b supports the following upgrade scenarios.
Important When upgrading from vCenter Server 5.1.x to vCenter Server 5.1 Update 3b for non-English locales, the installation of vCenter Single Sign-On must be performed through the command line. Use the following command for upgrading:

I’ve started using ESXi servers more and more for hosting my test Macs, both here and at work. As part of that, I’ve found it to be considerably easier for me to build the VM inside of VMware Fusion on my Mac and move it to ESXi, then build it from scratch on my ESXi server.
That said, I’ve found the process for moving OS X VMs has not been straightforward. When I first tried moving 10.8.x VMs, I tried both VMware’s OVF Tool and VMware’s Standalone Converter, but neither initially appeared to provide me with the ability to transfer working OS X 10.8.x VMs.
In the end, I was able to find a way to use VMware’s Standalone Converter to transfer 10.8.x VMs, but the process involves some extra steps on the ESXi server’s end.
The process I’ve developed involves using a Windows 7 VM running inside of VMware Fusion, with the VMware Standalone Converter application installed. One thing to note before proceeding further is that I did not try this with a vSphere server. All my work has been done with VMware’s free ESXi server, so it may be that there’s an easier way to do this with vSphere. See below the jump for details.
1. Launch Standalone Converter and select Convert Machine.
2. For Select source type: , select VMware Workstation or other VMware virtual machine then hit the Browse button.

3. Locate the .vmx file stored inside your VMware Fusion VM and select it.
4. Once the .vmx file is selected, hit the Open button.
5. Verify that everything looks OK at the Source System window, then hit the Next button.
6. For Select destination type:, select VMware Infrastructure virtual machine. Once done, supply the login credentials for the ESXi server that you want to copy the VM to and hit the Next button when finished.
7. If the ESXi server is using a self-signed SSL certificate, a warning will appear. Click the Ignore button to continue.
8. In the Destination Virtual Machine window, a listing of the current VMs on the ESXi server should appear. Name the VM that’s being imported as desired and hit the Next button.
9. In the Destination Location window, select the datastore on the ESXi server that the VM will be imported to and hit the Next button.
10. In the Options window, leave the default settings alone and hit the Next button.
11. In the Summary window, hit the Finish button.
Once all the conversion choices have been made, the VM will then be uploaded to the ESXi server. It’s important to know that the OS X VM will upload in an unbootable state.
At this point, you will need the VMware vSphere Client application to do the rest of the work on the ESXi server.
13. Launch VMware vSphere Client and log into the ESXi server.
14. If the ESXi server is using a self-signed SSL certificate, a warning will appear. Click the Ignore button to continue.
15. The ESXi administration console should appear, with the uploaded VM appearing as a powered-off VM.
16. Select File: New: Virtual Machine… to create a new VM.
17. In the Configuration window, select Custom. This option is needed because we want to re-use a part of the uploaded VM.
18. In the Name and Location window, name the new VM as desired. To avoid problems, name the VM something different from the uploaded VM.
19. In the Storage window, select the datastore where you want to store the new VM.
20. In the Virtual Machine Version window, use the default option of Virtual Machine Version: 8.
21. In the Guest Operating System window, select the following options:
