January 30, 201511 yr no Im trying to understand apple smc emulation on this page http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/. What does "insert-real-64-char-OSK-string-here" means ?
January 30, 201511 yr It's the product key for OSX that you can only get from Mac hardware. Follow his instructions to locate.
January 30, 201511 yr ok will try to digest. From what i understand, run his script on a linux os installed on mac hardware ? Is that right ?
February 3, 201511 yr Correct, you run the script on a MAC, when I first downloaded the script it would not run as I was on a Snow Leopard. When I upgraded to Yosemite it worked fine. I was stumped on this one for a few days. When the key revealed I could kick myself...... :-)
February 6, 201511 yr If anyone has any tips on how to get this running on an AMD CPU I'm all ears. I gave up and went with the hackintosh build using yosemite-zone.
April 23, 201511 yr Superb guide! I can get everything going, but my VM hangs on the Apple Logo screen when booting for the first time. Any ideas? I'm running OSX Yosemite.

April 23, 201511 yr Nope not sure, however at the chameloan boot screen type "-v" for verbose and post the last few lines when it gets stuck.
April 23, 201511 yr I have my OS X machine up and running since months now (mainly as iTunes server) and I have to say: awesome!!! I', shutting down the server each night. The Powerdown script is doing this very well by just pressing the power button (..that is something my wife is also capable to do ) However, the "normal" shutdown procedure (the usage of the "S" script if I'm not mistaken) of the Powerdown isn't working for the OS X VM. How are you guy's deal with OS X KVM shutdown before shutting down the whole server?
April 23, 201511 yr I'm fairly certain that when unRAID shutdowns or reboots that it force shuts down the OS X VM. The old VM plugin used to at least bring a prompt to my Mac screen asking to shutdown but the new VM plugin built into beta15 doesn't even tell me anything is about to shutdown. I am not sure how to get the VM plugin to play nice with OS X like it does with my windows and linux VMs. For now, if I am planning on restarting the server to just go over to my OS X desktop and manually shut it down first.

I'm not sure if you can operate an OSX guest VM when the host CPU is AMD as the install checks for an intel CPU and will freeze up when it doesn't find one (your experience). I see you are specifying Core2Duo in the XML but I don't think that works in terms of tricking the OSX install into thinking it is on an Intel machine. If anyone else knows how to set the XML to do this I would love to know (I had the same thing happen).

Alright, so I didn't missed anything....that what you described is pretty much the same that I'm doing each day when I'm shutting down unRAID. Thanks for your confirmation archedraft.

April 23, 201511 yr Try <vendor>GenuineIntel</vendor> Ok I have changed it to <vendor>GenuineIntel</vendor> same result unfortunately. virsh # start OSX-Yosemite-10.10 error: Failed to start domain OSX-Yosemite-10.10 error: unsupported configuration: guest and host CPU are not compatible: host CPU vendor does not match required CPU vendor GenuineIntel
April 23, 201511 yr OK how about this: <vendor name='Intel' string='GenuineIntel'/> Some progress there. The VM starts and I can VNC into it. The boot screen comes up and if I press enter it goes to a grey screen with logo and freezes. If i type in -v at the boot screen something flashes by very quickly and then it goes to a black screen and freezes up.
April 23, 201511 yr opening up the domain XML of the running domain (frozen) shows this for cpu </features> <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>core2duo</model> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> </cpu> Don't know if that helps
April 23, 201511 yr So it wont take the <vendor name='Intel' string='GenuineIntel'/> It automatically edits that out and that is why the domain starts but leaves us back in the same position.
April 23, 201511 yr Same result as Jude. It eliminates the <vendor>GenuineIntel</vendor> when it starts. I can't post the -v output because it's just a black screen.
April 23, 201511 yr So it wont take the <vendor name='Intel' string='GenuineIntel'/> It automatically edits that out and that is why the domain starts but leaves us back in the same position. Are you comfortable ssh'ing into unRAID and using the terminal? I have another test but it involves creating a test files with the terminal.
