vSphere on MacMini – Part 2

Well, after running the vSphere Hypervisor on my MacMini for some time, I returned to OSX.

Why?

Well, although the machine went fine, there were some problems that turned out during operation:

  1. The management was only possible through the Windows client. There is a Web admin interface, but only with the payed version of vSphere. This forced me to always have a Windows VM running on some other machine.
  2. The integration of the vSphere tools into the OSX VM on the server did not work properly. So it was not ensured that the OSX VM is running which was important for some services.
  3. The integration of the vSphere server with my Eaton Battery was not directly possible.
  4. The backup of the vSphere server turned out to be a problem on the tooling side.

So: it was a nice try, but to have a sufficiently stable VM environment, I’d aim for some hosted VM server now.
