But this goal is looking more and more unrealistic. My plan was to purchase Apple hardware (a rack mounted Mac Pro) so I could run, among other OSes, a virtual Mac. It boots and the ESXi installer runs, but ultimately it fails.Īnd since Big Sur has been out for 5 months and no version of ESXi (that I am aware of) will install on a machine running that, I have to conclude that VMware and/or Apple isn't serious about supporting ESXi natively on Apple hardware. Only 5 of these are Mac Pros and of those, none are the current model of the Mac Pro (MacPro 7,1).Īdditionally, from my own experimenting around, any version of ESXi (up to and including 7.0b) fails to successfully install on a Mac that already has Big Sur installed. I am confused about VMware and/or Apple's commitment to supporting ESXi running natively on AppleĪccording to VMware, there are only 8 Apple products that support running ESXi natively (see table below).
