Link Updated 25th March 2014 Version 1.3.0 posted with new method of running the patcher on ESXi. Should fix the issues when vCenter code added to the ESXi host. Please carefully read the readme.txt file. You will need to remove the previous unlocker for this to work correctly.

In addition you must have a scratch partition available on the ESXi host. Warning 25th September 2013 There has been a report by ipas that there are other issues when running with vCenter 5.5. Please remember the patcher was designed and only tested against standalone ESXi hosts. VCenter adds additional code to the host and currently there is no way to make ESXi reliably work when that code is added. Thanks to ipas for the report.

Updated 24th September 2013 Version 1.2.0 confirmed as working with ESXi 5.5. Updated 19th September 2013 New version 1.2.0 released with fixes for Workstation 10, Player 6 and Fusion 6.

Updated 13th July 2013 New version 1.1.1 released. Updated 10th May 2012 New version 1.1.0 released.

Updated 18th December 2011 There have been several reports that there are problems using this with vCenter. Please be aware the work really was only for standalone ESXi. Use at your own risk as we are obviously not able to guarantee anything with these patches.

Updated 7th December 2011 Updated for Workstation 8.0.1 and Fusion 4.1.0 Updated 11th November 2011 Minor update for Windows Workstation to fix batch file errors. Updated 4th November 2011 New unlocker which can do all the current VMware products.

Please see the readme copied here. Mac Son of Knife will be running another thread, to help with running Mac OS X on this unlocker. This thread will be for updates and issues with the unlocking process only. Thanks Donk, MSoK! Can't wait to try it tomorrow. Does this activate support Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion? Are there any limitations or a 'best practices' guide?XBit, Not tried Leopard, but fine with Snow Leopard, working on Lion as we speak, will update when sorted, a guide will follow, early days!

Thank you so much, Donk! I already applied your patch, but the VM does not boot from the ISO i've created with Lion Disk Maker. Do I need a modified Install Disk or should it work that way? Cheers, oegieoegie, Looking at Lion as we speak, will update ASAP. Thank you so much, Donk!

I already applied your patch, but the VM does not boot from the ISO i've created with Lion Disk Maker. Do I need a modified Install Disk or should it work that way? Cheers, oegie OK so the first problem I had was Lion would not see any CD or DVD mounted. It looks like a bug in VMware code. I have basically created a VMDK file and restored the InstallESD.dmg to that much as you would with a USB stick. Also added the VMware tools.

Alternatively use a USB key and connect to the guest from the vSphere client. It is slow but will boot. Please be aware I have very little time at present due to work. So decided to release early and let the community come up with some of the best practices. Hi Donk, first of all, I want to thank you and Mac Son of a Knife for your work!

I want to confirm that your patch is working on ESXi5 (running on HP Proliant) hosting Mac OS 10.5 Server - no further modification was necessary! I will continue testing with Snow Leopard and Lion, still hoping that Apple and VMware will eventually provide an official solution that will meet the requirements of business customers. Edit: Snow Leopard seems to be working, too. Boot Disk started without any problems, installation still running.

I can confirm also that the patch works fine for Snow Leopard and Lion on a Dell PowerEdge 2900. On a whitebox Sandy Bridge system the CPU ID must be set manually for the SL install to boot: cpuid.1.eax = '0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:1010:0101' A useful note/workaround for Lion: the IDE controller is not seen by the OS.

For me, adding a SCSI CD unit worked very well (edit the virtual machine settings and add the new SCSI CDROM type device to the virtual machine as scsi0:1). The only downside is that SCSI CD needs exclusive access (the unit cannot be mounted at the same time in other VMs).

I tried it and VMware re-wrote it back to IDE. I've tried everything I can think of, but all I get is the gray apple screen.

How can I boot mac os x into verbose mode with EFI? In the past, I could input the '-x' option in the darwin bootloader. EDIT: tried a different lion installer. It gets stuck now.

I also tried booting my old vanilla snow leopard installer and all I get is the gray apple logo. (same behavior as the first lion installer) EDIT2: this is a whitebox esxi with a Celeron E3200 cpu (very cheap, I know, but its only for my personal home use). Also, my snow leopard server used to work perfectly on esxi 4.1 with Donk's old patch. Running into the same problem as Dragon Draco: It's not possible to start an OSX vm from vCenter. It tells me that the guest os 'darwin1164Guest' is not supported.

This also prevents the vCenter from doing a successful vMotion. Same problem as existed in 4.0 and 4.1 then. I have no way around that, you have to use the ESXi host directly form the client.

BTW have you tried with the guest set to 10.6? My Lion VM still boots with that setting? I have no access to this server via vSphere itself and so cannot try it for you.
