While connected to vCenter Server 5.5, if you attempt to create a remote virtual machine and save it to an ESXi 5.5 host that is managed by the vCenter Server instance, VMware Fusion crashes.

#Vmware fusion 8.5 port forwarding install
In this situation, VMware Tools is installed, but when you select the Virtual Machine drop-down menu, the Install VMware Tools option is available instead of the Reinstall VMware Tools option.

If you want to switch the virtual machine to Full Screen view, use a single display only. Workaround: If you experience this issue on an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine, restart the virtual machine. On a system with more than one monitor connected, if an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine is in Full Screen view, using all displays, the virtual machine does not refresh its display properly after you exit to Single Window view. After you exit Full Screen view on a multi-monitor system, an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine does not refresh properly.The following issues might occur in this version of VMware Fusion.

It is a free upgrade for all VMware Fusion 8 users. VMware Fusion 8.1.1 is a maintenance release that resolves some known issues. VMware Fusion 8.1.1 is the easiest, fastest, and most reliable way to run Windows and other x86 based operating systems on a Mac without rebooting.įor more information, see the broader VMware Fusion documentation or specifically the VMware Fusion 8.0 Documentation Center. What's in the Release Notes The release notes cover the following topics: It's not ideal and makes it easy for things to end up in an inconsistent state, but we are attempting to get something in a usable state that we could utilize for now.Check for additions and updates to these release notes. I'm currently messing around with spinning out ssh processes to provide the forwarding. Since those are not used anymore on Big Sur, it leaves us a bit stuck.įor the port forwarding side, we did a bunch of experimentation and digging to see if we could utilize pf, or really anything, to get things working until proper support gets released but were unsuccessful. When on a non-Big Sur host, we can bypass using the vmrest utility since we can just affect network modifications directly via other vmware processes + configuration files. New networks can be created, but they cannot be modified (or deleted), and the subnet/mask cannot be set. I'm not sure yet if this is due to a deficiency in the vmnet framework, or if it's the vmrest utility itself. With the updates to using the vmnet framework API, the only way to interact with the networks (in a CRUD context) is via the vmrest utility, which currently is not working as advertised.

So using the provider modification discussed in the thread you linked will allow Vagrant to connect to the guest, and port forwards won't cause a failure, they just won't be functional.
#Vmware fusion 8.5 port forwarding update
The result of this is that where things don't work in the framework (like port forwarding to the loopback) the wait is now a combination of waiting for the framework to provide the functionality, and then for a Fusion update to include support. The reason for the difference between the two versions is due to Fusion 12 being rewritten to simply be a wrapper around the virtualization and vmnet frameworks provided by macOS. * Fusion 12 on macOS Big Sur - Port forwarding and network management is currently broken * Fusion 12 on macOS Catalina - Everything works as expected It's a little complicated but this is the current state:
