If you want to get that 6.4GB “Install macOS 10.15 Beta.app” installer out of the VM then you cannot use the VMware Fusion shared folders feature. But as it involves a few more steps, not all of them obvious, I figured to write it out for you.

As it turns out, the main trick is to start from a new VM, not upgrade an existing one. I tried that, but my VM no longer booted.

Then user bogdam reported he could get passed this by changing the virtual machine hardware to Windows 10. If you then try to reboot it in verbose mode, so that you can see what happens, you’ll get the following screen. Basically if you run the upgrade then your VM will hang on reboot. This thread describes the problems you bump into if you try to upgrade a macOS Mojave VM to the new beta macOS Catalina. Credit for figuring out how-to do this goes to vmtn users Bogdam and intel008 as they are the ones who posted the resolution in the following thread at VMTN: macOS Catalina VMs do not run in VMware Fusion 11.1.0 Here’s a quick note on how-to setup a macOS catalina VM on VMware Fusion 11. What I cannot believe is that a modern file system like AFPS and VmWare are not able to allow a simple shrink of the file, only with a lot of terminal command steps, as below.Update: This is no longer an issue with Fusion 11.5
I nobody has some clue, maybe I have to restart again with some older, clean images, but I would like to know howto cleanup existing images for the future. Maybe somebody has a clue how the VM image could be shrinked physically as well, maybe there are some tools out there (Paragon, etc.),īut I could find any tool yet solving such specific issues with VmWare Fusion images. > sudo chmod -v 666 /Users/myusername/Documents/Virtuelle\ Maschinen/macOS\ 10.14.7_Rx1032B_2_BETA.vmwarevm/Virtuelle\ Festplatte.vmdkĪfter that the VM is running again, but still the physical size is not shrinked, although the internal partition is shrinked as it should. Still no luck, but I added the step fragmentation before the shrinking.Īfter the shrinking, I've got missing user access, so I solved this by giving access to everyone again: Sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-vdiskmanager -k /Users/myusername/Documents/Virtuelle\ Maschinen/macOS\ 10.14.7_Rx1032B_2_BETA.vmwarevm/Virtuelle\ Festplatte.vmdk Something like this: (!!
