I incorrectly assumed this was because of vt-d missing, but your post prompted me to have another crack at it. For some reason I had selected "USB Mode = 3.0 XHCI" when I first created the VM. Once I spotted that in the XML and changed it back to "2.0 EHCI" things started working again. Thanks again for your help, and for all the awesome guides your are producing! Your welcome, glad you got the vm fixed
June 26, 20179 yr Hello Guys; I was running without issues OS Sierra (10.12) on VMware Workstation 12 pro, after upgrade VMware Workstation I tried to power on the VM and got the error "DSMOS: SMC read error K0: 133"@/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/DontStealMacOS/DontStealMacOS-26.50/Dont_Steal_MacOS.cpp:191 I watched the videos but it's only cover the upgrade process, in my case I am not able to power on the VM. Any Ideas? Regards

This is the forum owned and run by Limetech for running their unraid software. You would probably get more relevant answers on a VMware forum.

The parameters are simple enough to add to the unraid XML, but I haven't updated to 6.4-rc yet. Once 6.4 is stable and those parameters are confirmed working we should be able to use macOS on unraid with unpatched clover versions.

June 28, 20179 yr One issue I have in my VM having followed this mechanism is crackly sound when watching videos. It is a bit strange, seems to happen whether I output the sound over HDMI to my built in monitor speakers or through my USB connected B&W desktop speakers so it seems more system based if you see what I mean. Any ideas? Actually the more I try things, it seems like it is a Safari issue as Chrome doesn't do this....can't be VM related I guess. Edited June 28, 20179 yr by planetwilson

Once 6.4 is stable and those parameters are confirmed working we should be able to use macOS on unraid with unpatched clover versions. I have tried this with 6.4-rc6 and El Capitan 10.11.6. It works as said with the latest unmodified and minimally configured Clover. However, to try out Sierra 10.12.5, I am hoping 6.4 will be released with the applesmc patch applied to qemu 2.9.0. That will allow Sierra to run without putting in FakeSMC. For those interested, I put the qemu -cpu options in the libvirt xml as follows: <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> </cpu> ........... <qemu:commandline> ........ <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='IvyBridge,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on'/> </qemu:commandline> Glad to see it even works with IvyBridge as the guest CPU model :-)

Yes its always best to use a cpu topology that would exist in a cpu that apple would use in a real machine.

One final update: specify CPU model as IvyBridge (or SandyBridge) seems to work but the system CPU usage skyrocketed. Go back to Penryn and everything is fine.
June 30, 20179 yr Yes its always best to use a cpu topology that would exist in a cpu that apple would use in a real machine.Changin CPU topology for me solved kernel panic as well.
July 2, 20179 yr I followed the guide on the latest video using my macbook pro and vmware to install everything into the vdisk then move it into unRAID but I'm stuck on the bootloop when trying to start the VM right after the Clover menu. I'm assuming it's because I screw up somewhere with the AppleSMC/OSK Key but I can't figure out what the issue is. Here's the message I'm getting -> imgur link And here's what my XML template looks like right now -> pastebin link Any idea on where I might be screwing up?

Hi Yes, I really should make a new guide from start to finish soon. You need to install the fake SMC (see the video on upgrading to 10.12.4) when you have created the VM in VMware Fusion before converting to kvm. then you must remove the osk key part in the XML. Many people don't realise it is actually 3 lines you need to remove. <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='type=2'/> <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/> <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel'/> </qemu:commandline> </domain> You don't just remove the <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'/> You must remove these 3 lines when using fake SMC. <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> Hope that helps
July 4, 20179 yr Not sure if that is the correct forum but I am having an issue with the NTP server. The time is always behind however the NTP process is running (“Set date & time automatically” is on): ps ax| grep ntp 10290 ?? Ss 0:00.02 /usr/sbin/ntpd -c /private/etc/ntp-restrict.conf -n -g -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntp.drift 10321 s002 S+ 0:00.00 grep ntp Is there anything I have overlooked?
August 12, 20178 yr What steps should I follow for a new mac running 10.12.6? Do I just follow the main Mac OS video and do I still need the fakesmc even though it's already upgraded?
September 17, 20178 yr Hello guys I followed the whole guide but when I try to start it comes first the Apple symbol, after a few seconds comes a "forbidden" symbol. Some idea? I upload a video, so you understand it better! thank you regards IMG_8442-divx.avi
September 20, 20178 yr Are people able to log into the App Store on a fresh/clean Sierra 10.12.6 vm? I've tried several VM creation attempts and they've all resulted in "Verification Failed. There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server". Upon finalizing the Fusion VM, I had verified that I could log in using a valid Apple ID into the App Store, however after converting to KVM and running it in unraid, I hit upon the above error.

Upon finalizing the Fusion VM, I had verified that I could log in using a valid Apple ID into the App Store, however after converting to KVM and running it in unraid, I hit upon the above error. ...to answer my own question, the issue was resolved by changing the bridge interface's model type from 'vmxnet3' to 'e1000-82545em' (as Gridrunner uses in his example vm.xml): <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:51:66:48'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='vmxnet3'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> ...which Unraid resulted in altering the bridge interface element with the following (it automatically added the target dev, and alias): <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:51:66:48'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='e1000-82545em'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface>
September 23, 20178 yr Has anyone give it a try run High Sierra in a VM? Any hopes for a new how-to-guide for High Sierra and the latest Unraid, which I understand includes some fixes making things a lot easier?
September 24, 20178 yr Author High Sierra 10.13 So now High Sierra is here its time for a new video. Things are a lot better for OSX VMs now. Since qemu 2.9 we don't need to use a patched clover. We can pass through the CPU frequency to the guest from the XML. This video although for High Sierra will also work for Sierra HOW TO INSTALL HIGH SIERRA OR SIERRA ON UNRAID Video how to create the install media is below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFPiK1Ggbks Edited September 24, 20178 yr by gridrunner
September 24, 20178 yr Exciting, thanks. Will give it a try soon. Just one question. I am still on 6.3. Does this impact the guide and better to wait until 6.4 is out? Quote from this thread below: ** I have tried this with 6.4-rc6 and El Capitan 10.11.6. It works as said with the latest unmodified and minimally configured Clover. ** However, to try out Sierra 10.12.5, I am hoping 6.4 will be released with the applesmc patch applied to qemu 2.9.0. That will allow Sierra to run without putting in FakeSMC.
