Several people have asked me how to accomplish this, so I have put together an outline of the setup below. I can also start-up the Windows VM on Fusion to connect to ESXi with vSphere client (vSphere client doesn’t run on Macs). I can develop with Eclipse on my MacBook and connect to my ESXi server. 2009 2:59 PM in response to absolut0128 In response to absolut0128. then I wont bother with XenServer and go with ESXi and probably wont virtualize my Mac hardware.

did the firmware update from 4,1 to 5,1, so i plan to get some better processors down the road, thatll bump it to 3.0ghtz 12 core. VMware Fusion supports OS X Server, but in doing so they're running a lot of specific 'tweaks' to the virtualization engine (vmware-vmx) that are strictly Fusion-only. just picked up a 2009 mac pro, dual proc xeon 2.26, 8 core, 32gb ram. ESXi (3.5 or 4.0) does /not/ support Mac OS X Server. Actually, I have installed ESXi on top of VMware Fusion. anyone using a Mac Pro in your homelab Discussion.
Whether you need to run ESXi on server grade hardware like an Apple Mac Pro or a tiny and lower power platform like the Apple Mac Mini or a consumer laptop/desktop like MacBook Pro/Air or an iMac where ESXi can be available wherever you go which is great for frequent travelers.ESXi 4.1 on top of Fusion on Apple MacBook ProI have been messing around with VMware ESXi on my Apple MacBook Pro laptop for a while now.
If you look below, I actually went through and installed the latest ESXi release on each of these platforms which were all straight forward using a bootable USB key except for MacBook Air 6,2 which required adding the iovDisableIR=true boot option which I have blogged about here. After upgrading the old dual core chips with quad cores, all it needs to becom. It was good to learn from one of my readers, that the keyboard issue has been fixed using the latest 5.5u2 Patch03 image. The 2006 Mac Pro is a very versatile machine, even 10 years after its release. Then create a FAT filesystem on the flash drive, mount it, and copy the ESXi files. And if the logic board does not support DDR3L memory, the DIMM will operate at 1.5V. Use dd to write the saved boot partition to flash. It's very impossible that any Mac Pro 4,1 / 5,1 logic board can support 1.35V DIMM. By considering the 20 Mac Pro has the same logic board as the 2009 model. I recently found out this issue has been resolved with the latest ESXi 5.5 Update Patch03 which also enables support for the new Mac Pro 6,1 and other bug fixes. The Mac Pro 2009 was introduced back in March 2009.

I could never figure out why and to be honest, I never really looked into the problem.

One of the issues I have encountered in the past when trying to install ESXi on my 15" MacBook Pro 8,2 (shown in the center of the picture) is that the keyboard (both the on-board and USB) would stop functioning once the ESXi installer started up. We all know that ESXi runs pretty flawlessly (for the most part) on Apple Mac Pro's (5,1 & 6,1) and Apple Mac Mini's (5,x & 6,x), but what about when it comes to consumer laptops/desktops like a MacBook Pro/Air and even the iMacs? As you probably have guessed from the the title, you can run ESXi on any of these systems (which has been made easier with the latest ESXi release), in fact over the weekend I had some fun with some of the Apple hardware I had at my disposal.
