Otherwise, VMware will select a host for you. If you don’t have DRS Mode enabled, you will be prompted to select a specific host to deploy your Mac VM to. In Select a compute resource, click Next. Then, select Create a new virtual machine and then select Next.Ĭhoose a name for the VM, for example, “macOS-10.15” and then select Next. Create a Single Mac VM in VMwareįirst, in the vCenter Navigator, right-click on the Cluster and select New Virtual Machine. As you grow, you will be able to manage multiple networks or groups of hosts within this same interface. The MacStadium private cloud options you selected at signup will determine the number of physical hosts you see in your vSphere cluster. vCenter UIįirst, you’ll want to sign in to your vCenter instance hosted by MacStadium. Today, we’ll walk through the process of creating your first Mac VM running on VMware at MacStadium via the vCenter user interface. We offer the latest stable version of the VMware ESXi hypervisor on dedicated hardware, so extending your on-premises VMware setup to the cloud is secure and won’t require you to remake the wheel in the process. But, it is important to take backup of your data.MacStadium offers virtualization of macOS, Windows, and Linux on genuine Apple hardware by pairing it with VMware. You will get some warnings regarding data loss, however if you follow all the steps carefully, then you will not lose any data. Now, for the final step, select /dev/sda1, and use select/resize to allocate the unallocated space.After that, resize/move the extended volume to shrink to the previous size (to cover swap).then select swap, and move it to the right based on.Click on the extended volume (/dev/sda2), and select resize/move to increase the partition to cover all the unallocated spaces.Right click on swap (/dev/sda5) and select swap off.You should be able to see the unallocated space. Use the following steps for extending the volume in Ubuntu VDI. Finally, boot using a Ubuntu live cd, and use gparted tool to extend your volume.Connect/Attach the new disk to the Virtual Machine.Disconnect the old disk via storage settings in Virtual Box.Clone the old disk to this newly created virtual disk.Special thanks to for the tutorial, and the steps are: (please refer to that website for some screenshots). I have spent an hour to figure out how to increase the disk size of my ubuntu virtual machine running on Mac OSX, and decided to write this 🙂
