Theory:
Type 2 virtualization involves running a hypervisor within a host operating system. In
this case, we'll use VMware Workstation as the Type 2 hypervisor, installed on macOS.
VMware Workstation allows you to create and manage virtual machines on your local
machine, which can then be connected to and run on your ESXi 6.5 server.
Procedure :
● Download the VMware Workstation for macOS installer from the VMware
website.
● Double-click the installer file and follow the on-screen instructions to install
VMware Workstation on your macOS system.
● Once connected to your ESXi server, click on Create a New Virtual Machine.
● Follow the wizard to create a new virtual machine. Specify the operating system,
virtual hardware configuration, and allocate resources like CPU cores, memory,
and storage.
● Customize any additional settings as needed.
5. Configure Networking:
● Configure networking for your virtual machine to ensure it can communicate with
other systems on your network or the internet. You can choose between bridged,
NAT, or host-only networking modes depending on your requirements.
● You can now manage your virtual machines directly from VMware Workstation
on your macOS. This includes powering them on/off, taking snapshots, and
configuring virtual hardware settings.
7. Additional Considerations:
● Ensure that your macOS system meets the hardware requirements for running
VMware Workstation and hosting virtual machines.
● Keep your virtual machine files and configurations backed up regularly to prevent
data loss.
