    macOS High Sierra VM on current Unraid

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    Gah - you are right - It's El Capitan... I don't know why I did that. What an idiot. Sorry! It has to be El Capitan too as that is the last version of MacOS that supports the software I need to run.

     

    Here is the result of the diskutil list.

     

    /dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *268.4 MB   disk0

       1:                        EFI EFI                     101.4 MB   disk0s1

       2:           Linux Filesystem                         163.9 MB   disk0s2

    /dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *53.7 GB    disk1

       1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk1s1

       2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            52.8 GB    disk1s2

       3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk1s3

    /dev/disk2 (internal, physical):

       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *8.0 GB     disk2

       1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk2s1

       2:                  Apple_HFS Install OS X El Capitan 7.7 GB     disk2s2

     

    In my El Capitan VM folder on Unraid there are 3 disk images.

     

    I have mounted and looked inside each of the 3 EFI partitions above. 

     

    Disk0s1 contains an EFI file with a Boot and Clover folder. The Clover Folder contains a config.plist. I assumed this was the correct one.

    Disk1s1 contains an EFI file with an Apple/Extensions/Firmware.scrap file in it.

    Disk2s1 contains an EFI file that is empty.

     

    On Unraid:

     

    El Capitan.img which is the installer image.

    Clover.qcow2 which is the clover image (I suppose).

    vdisk3.img which is the "operating system" VM image.

     

    I am sending you both EFI folders the clover.qcow2 file.

     

    I hope that helps and thanks again for your help and patience!

     

    Best,

    To try and answer:

     

    1. I don't understand what a "Virtual USB Controller" is completely. 99% of the time I interact with Unraid through the web interface on a another computer. Sometimes, I plug a keyboard into the Unraid Box for diagnostic purposes. Before I learnt how to isolate the USB hub, I used to plug in a keyboard and mouse into directly into the Unraid box for use with Virtual Machines.

     

    2. I loaded the El Capitan VM, mounted the EFI partition, copied the EFI folder to the desktop, Zipped it up and sent it to you.

     

    ***

     

    1. How do I do that?

     

    2. Yes. It is powered and works well with other VM's.

     

     

    Thanks again!

     

    Best.

    Hey ghost82,

     

    I think I have the files you need. I will send them via PM. Please let me know if it's not what you need.

     

    I turned off Gatekeeper but this has made no difference.

     

    USB devices work (Keyboard) during the Clover boot. I can navigate the Clover screens. However, if I do this and then try to load MacOS the process will hang on the Clover screen.

     

    If I leave the keyboard alone, the VM will load.

     

    When the VM loaded, the keyboard no longer works.

     

    What may also be interesting is that I can see the Apple logo on the screen through the passthrough GPU during the boot process then the screen goes blank and I have to use Screen Sharing to actually login to the VM Mac.

     

    I hope this helps.


    Thank you once again!

     

    Best,

    Thanks for the reply!

     

    I will delve into this when I return to the house but just to get ahead of a few things:

     

    Other USB devices are not recognized (which is why I think it's a USB hub issue maybe and not the sound card in itself - it's just I need the sound card to work :)).

     

    "Drivers" is the wrong word I think. The sound card has a mixer utility that you can use to set what comes out of which channel. etc. This utility does not detect the sound card is attached. I will turn off Gatekeeper but I've used this Soundcard with a real Mac going back 8 years or so and it's always worked just fine.

     

    This is probably a dumb question but are the ioreg and efi folder on the Mac or on the Unraid server? I think you mean Mac but I just wanted to double check.

     

    Thanks again!

     

    Best,

    Hello Ghost82 - thanks for the reply - I really appreciate it.

     

    I will do my best to answer.

     

    The USB Controller is isolated as IOMMU group 19:

    [1022:149c] 08:00.3 USB controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Matisse USB 3.0 Host Controller

    This controller is bound to vfio, connected USB devices are not visible.

     

    I have a USB Hub plugged into that controller that the USB Audio Device is plugged into.

     

    The USB Audio Device is a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 first gen.

     

    It is not detected in the Mac system profile (or indeed, by the Focusrite drivers).

    It does, however, work fine on my Windows VM.

     

    I have attached the diagnostics file.

     

    Many thanks again!

    Hello!

     

    I have managed to get a Mac OS High Sierra VM running, largely thanks to SpaceInvaderOne's excellent videos and an old thread on this forum.

     

    Unfortunately, I cannot get my Sound Card to work. This is a USB device attached to a Hub. The Hub is "isolated" from Unraid and works great on my Windows 10 VM but I cannot get it to work on High Sierra.

     

    Any help would be appreciated!

     

    Thanks

    yep your issue is with PIA, their port forwarding API is intermittent right now, if you see exit code 52 or 56 then its the API not responding, the solution is to keep retrying from the list of support endpoints until you get a port assigned, or alternatively set STRICT_PORT_FORWARD to 'no' (will result in lower speeds).

    Thank you!

    Update: I have been able to get around this by changing "Strict Port Forward" to No.

     

    Changing to France has not fixed the issue to me. Still getting the same error in the log file:

    Port Forwarding Issue

    in General Support

    Posted

    Hello! I hope someone can help me figure this out!

     

    I port forward from my router to a BitTorrent Docker on my Unraid box. This has worked just fine for months

     

    Two days ago, the port that is being forwarded to the box stop being seen as "open".

     

    Nothing had changed on the router and I had not made any manual changes to the settings of the client.

     

    I've rebooted my entire network infrastructure, changed the port to a different port multiple times. I've tried different BitTorrent dockers.

     

    Nothing seems to work.

     

    If I forward the same port to a BitTorrent client on my desktop machine, the port is opened just fine.

     

    It's very frustrating! :)

     

    It's like the Unraid box won't open any ports.

     

    Does anyone have any idea of what might be going on here...

     

    Thanks!
