OS X Lion ISO Download for VMware: A Step-by-Step Guide

VMware ESXi 6.0 does not support OS X out of the box, but with a few simple steps, you can create a Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks virtual machine (VM) on your ESXi host using the Unlocker tool. In this article, we will guide you through the process of downloading and installing OS X Lion ISO for VMware.

To begin, you need to enable the SSH server service on your ESXi host. This can be done by logging into the host using the VMware vSphere Client and navigating to Configuration > Security Profile. From here, you can register on the site to download the Unlocker tool.

Once you have the Unlocker tool, you will need to customize the hypervisor layer by executing an Unlocker script. This will allow you to run OS X Lion as a VM on your ESXi host.

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have read and agreed to the End User License Agreement (EULA) for Apple Mac OS X license, which is available at the end of this article.

The steps below will guide you through the process of creating a Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks VM on your ESXi host:

1. Download the Unlocker tool from the official website and register with the site.

2. Enable SSH server service on your ESXi host by logging in to the host using the VMware vSphere Client and navigating to Configuration > Security Profile.

3. Customize the hypervisor layer by executing an Unlocker script.

4. Create a new VM in VMware Fusion and select 'Apple Mac OS X' as the operating system.

5. Select the OS X Lion ISO file that you downloaded earlier and follow the installation prompts.

Once you have completed these steps, you should now be able to run OS X Lion on your ESXi host using VMware Fusion.

It's worth noting that not all versions of OS X are supported by VMware. According to Apple licensing policies, VMware only supports the virtualization of Apple Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) client or server, Apple Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) client or server, Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) client or server, Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) client or server, Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) client or server, 10.6 (Snow Leopard) server and 10.5 (Leopard) server.

In conclusion, with these simple steps, you can create a Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks VM on your ESXi host using the Unlocker tool. Remember to read and agree to the EULA before proceeding with the installation.
