@DarkHorse @david279 Glad you guys are getting some higher scores I thought I would join in with adding lots of cores so added all my cores on my 2690v4 es chip to see what score I could get. @1812 come on lets see what a 64 core vm hackintosh can do it must be a crazy score !!

@joelonesTry running this command in terminal then reboot and see if you can download? sudo softwareupdate --clear-catalog

If you are stuck at the efi shell then the install media that you are trying to boot from isn't correct . Make sure when you make the usb stick format it before you start using a guid partition table. If you dont you can't use efi boot and clover will not install in the efi partition.

Hi these are various cpu extensions none of which in Penryn so they can be enabled and passed through. avx Advanced Vector Extensions These are used I believe in some of the adobe products and some video software aes Advanced Encryption Standard. This improves the speed of encryption/decryption of aes. xsave Save Processor Extended States. This allows saving of processor state components https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#Advanced_Vector_Extensions_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard

Ha yes, long beeps are never a good thing..

Yeah, good idea. See what you can do with what you have got get used to things then choose some new hardware when you are ready...Good luck

@CHBMB just a long shot re your USB rebooting the server. Is there any bios settings into do with waking the computer through USB. I am sure I remember seeing something to that effect on my x99 board but i'm not sure??? ..may be worth a check??

Hi. Yes, you can run an OSX VM on an AMD CPU but not all. Ryzen seems fine. (my test server is an AMD Ryzen 1500x and osx high sierra is running as a VM on that too). Qemu will emulate the type of CPU that we need.(and also the motherboard) We normally emulate the Penryn CPU for OSX sierra and onwards. However, you can actually pass through more modern CPU functions that your CPU may have by adding them to the XML and therefore increase performance in the guest, for example <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,+avx,+aes,+xsave,+xsaveopt,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,'/> Also using a dedicated GPU for the VM will give you better performance even if accessing it remotely. The GPU must be supported in the Hackintosh community to work just as a real Hackintosh. As @CHBMB says earlier you can pass through a GPU to multiple VMs (but not all at once.You can shutdown osx then boot windows with the same GPU)

How I have mine set up is -- I have a powered usb 3.0 hub which has all of my devices keyboard mouse usb drives bluetooth etc. This then connects to a 4 port USB 3 switch which connects to 4 different computers (well 3 really as 2 of them are the server) 1 connects to the unRAID servers main 'unpassed through' usb port 1 connects to the passed through usb card for vms (osx etc) 1 connects to my other server 1 connects to my laptop Everything works through the hub for all devices but again a powered hub.

Hi @CHBMB this is the card that I use. It is an Inateck PCI-E to USB 3.0 5-Port PCI Express Card (KTU3FR-5O2I) Its available on Amazon UK here http://amzn.to/2f2OS5U It has the Fresco Logic FL1100 chipset which is natively supported in osx.

Glad you like it @ljm42 Yeah I should have mentioned more about DNS. I just helped a friend set his up over TeamViewer and we had to change the DNS on the commercial router's DHCP server to give out googles before it would work

This video is an overview and a quick tutorial on the newly released unRAID 6.4.0 stable. This video will compare side by side unRAID 6.4.0 with its predecessor 6.3.5 and see the differences and improvements. It shows how to safely upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4 then how to set up your SSL certificate for HTTPS access and then how to set up an encrypted drive for the array.

@eschultz any news on arm emulation. Would love to see that feature

Make sure your duck DNS is resolving your public ip address. So to check ping diliremo.duckdns.org (if that is still what you are using-- but I would change that as you have posted it publicly here)

Can you access the WebUI from the windows laptop Try mapping the shares to the windows laptop by ip address ie \\192.168.1.100\sharename

Your welcome, glad it's all working

ok the creators edition of 10 blocks access to remote shares with guest access. You can set a username and password to the share and then connect with windows using those credentials. Or Configure the following Group Policy settings: Computer configuration\administrative templates\network\Lanman Workstation "Enable insecure guest logons" this will allow guest access in windows creators edition

are you having problems accessing the shares from the vm or from any device as your laptop cant connect too?

try mapping a drive ie Z to the share \\192.168.0.10\sharename

are you mapping a network drive to the shares?

+1 for file manager It would be nice to have a file manager built into webui. The Docker container file managers are okay would be nice to have that natively.

Hi please edit your post and remove the osk key from your xml. We are not allowed to post that here in the forums You will need to have all hds as sata. dont use usb. You cant see your vdisk as it hasnt been formatted in disk utility. You probably havent made the vdisk large enough when you created it. You may have forgotten when you made the vdisk to put 40G maybe you didnt put the G so its not 40 gigs so you cant use it. But if you are passing through a physical disk i suggest erasing all partitions first using the unassigned devices plugin. Then try Also i have made some minor changes to your xml here <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> <name>MacOS</name> <uuid>ce316645-fbc6-097a-9cc3-756321856865</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Linux" icon="linux.png" os="linux"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>8388608</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>8388608</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='4'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='3'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='7'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.10'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/c8790c16-fcf4-513d-b150-4889fee54676_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> </features> <cpu> <topology sockets='1' cores='4' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/MacOS/vdisk1.img'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='sata'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source dev='/dev/sdk'/> <target dev='hdd' bus='sata'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='3'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='pci-bridge'> <model name='pci-bridge'/> <target chassisNr='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <model name='pci-bridge'/> <target chassisNr='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:51:66:48'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='e1000-82545em'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' websocket='-1' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='en-us'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </video> <memballoon model='none'/> </devices> <seclabel type='none' model='none'/> <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-usb'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse,bus=usb-bus.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=oxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='type=2'/> <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain>

It will not work with seabios I am afraid. you need ovmf and clover to get it working. If it is booting to shell when you are using ovmf then the boot media hasn't been created correctly. When you create the flash drive then make sure the partition is gpt when you format the flash drive. EFI doesn't work on masterboot record. The format must be GUID partition table (GPT) . These disks use unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) which you will need or it will not find boot entry. Also, change the CPU part of the XML at the bottom to this or clover will have timing issues and you will have to use a patched version. This way you won't have to use patched clover. <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,'/> also, check this video the newest one i have made for osx installation https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=UyP1h82n30g

You need to match the resolution in the ovmf settings to the same as the settings in clover when using vnc graphics. Try setting the ovmf resolution to 1920 x 1080
