How to mount an external drive in Snow Leopard Server VM

I've created a Snow Leopard Server VM running in my office of Lion native.  I would like to run the migration wizard on an external drive of Snow Leopard to migrate a lot of user data and applications (a snow leopard to be precise user account).  I can't find a way to mount the external hard drive in the virtual machine.  Should I create a disk image of this external hard drive, or something to get there?  Anyone tried this?

I guess an external USB drive?   Can't redirect the USB device to your virtual machine?

  • How to disable SSLv2 on Snow Leopard Server?

    Because of the possibility of to DROWN-attack I want to disable SSLv2 on my Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8).

    Did anyone here who can tell me how to disable SSLv2?

    Install a new version of OpenSSL would be nice too, but I don't know how?

    Thank you for your help,

    Peter.

    Hi again!

    Here is the solution. :-)

    What you have to do is change your main.cf and disabel SSLv2 (SSLv3) and for Apache2 httpd.conf file.

    1. go to/etc/postfix and open the main.cf

    2. Add the following lines

    smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols =! SSLv2! SSLv3

    smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols =! SSLv2! SSLv3

    smtp_tls_protocols =! SSLv2! SSLv3

    smtpd_tls_protocols =! SSLv2! SSLv3

    3. save the main.cf

    4. do/etc/apache and open httpd.conf

    5. search for the SSL stuff

    Add the following line:

    All - SSLv2 SSLv3 SSLProtocol

    6. restart your server to make active changes

  • His guest of Snow Leopard Server in Fusion 7 in Yosemite?

    Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere. I have found some answers to Fusion 4, but didn't work for me. The problem is that I seem to be able to get a sound of a new Snow Leopard Server virtual machine.

    I tried of course to add the audio card in the virtual machine in Fusion settings, but nothing helped. Install the EnsoniqAudioPCI_v1.0.3_Common_Installer.pkg in the guest does not have anything either. My procedure was perhaps wrong? Can someone explain what are the specific steps and/or downloads should be done to a guest of Snow Leopard Server have sound?

    Thank you.

    Some good news, Woody and all. I just recreated the Snow Leopard Server 64-bit) virtual machine from scratch with VMware Fusion 7.0.1 (after adding the virtual Hardware Sound Card before installing the guest operating system). After installing the VMware Tools and restart, I installed the driver Ensoniq restarted 1.0.3 and, as was to be expected, no sound. Then I turned off the VM, then I open the vmx with Text Edit file and deleted the line incriminated who supposedly provided hdaudio to the guest OS. I saved the file and rebooted the computer virtual and boom! Sound œuvres.

    Thanks to you all.

  • OS x 10.9 Mavericks VMFusion 6 unit do not show in the taskbar or detect Snow Leopard Server monitors

    Running Fusion 6.0.2 Mavericks 10.9.1.  I use photoshop CS 2 OS snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 comments.  The software seems to work ok.  Currently, fusion can run on one screen at a time, which is fine, but only 1024 x 768.  Snow Leopard Server recognizes a GPU PCI with 3 MB of RAM in the System Profiler. I prefer to run it in the unit. However, a higher resolution is even more important.

  • Cannot install on Fusion 5 comments of Snow Leopard Server.

    I just got my new shiny Server Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD from Apple (Yes, it was $19.99 and I got on the phone, the operator of chat on the apple online store did know about this).

    I downloaded the trial version of vmware fusion 5.0.2 and tried to install. He always stops raise a screen saying:

    INSTALLATION FAILED

    Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer

    Setup failed to copy the required support files.

    Click on restart to restart your computer and try to reinstall.

    I tried several times. I thought that maybe something my old installation of VMware Fusion 2 created problems, so I followed the instructions to the 1017838 of the knowledge base article to uninstall everything. I deleted the app, even my old virtual machines. The first time I did that I must have missed something, because when I tried to install fusion 5 new he already knew my trial license key. So I went all uninstall - reinstall procedure more 2 times, restarting the computer between each course.

    Anyway installed snow leopard server on fusion 5 has?

    Advice appreciated. I need this facility for an older application that requires rosetta and this hack seems to be the only way I can get it.

    Either way, my host is a 5,1 Macbook running Mountain Lion. 8 GB of ram, 100 GB of free disk space.

    Thank you.

    Hi cmwoodand welcome to the VMware communities!

    We had a few reports that the disk of the server Snow Leopard 10.6.3 triggers a problem with merging and direct access to the physical disk.  If they send 10.6.3 media for this crazy business of $20, I suspect we'll see more of these problems...

    You should be able to work around it using disk utility on your host to make an image of Mac OS X install disk, and then attach the disk image of the virtual machine and install by whom.  (When you use disk utility, make sure that you select the drive of optical disc as the source of the image, not the media named "Mac OS X Server".)  If you picture the bad thing, your VM won't boot past the Apple logo.)

    See you soon,.

  • Cannot write to Snow Leopard server to Windows XP

    OK - my set-up is the following - I have a Mac with VMware fusion where I do most of my work on the side of Windows XP.  Recently, I added a mac mini Snow Leopard server so that a group of us can access the files, and my mac is connected to it through sharing.  On the side of windows XP, the server is mapped and I can open the files it contains, but when I try to save or delete whatever it is, it won't let me.  It's as if I was a user who had read but not write privileges.  The problem is that I don't remember connect you, so I think that he mapped automatically, so access is here to look at the files, but when it comes to writing, the server does not recognize the user and block the change.

    I hope the above makes sense.  I guess I could establish a VPN connection and get out and return this way, but it seems rather ineffective.  If anyone has an easier solution, it would be much appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried to disconnect the mapped drive, then remapping using the option 'connect under a different name' on the map network drive window?

  • Having difficulties to install Snow Leopard Server on Fusion 4

    I upgraded from Fusion 3 to 4. I want to use the merger to run Snow Leopard Server under Leo, so I use a few applications of Rosetta. When I try to install SLS from the disc, it starts and stops with the message:

    "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system.

    Power off or reset the virtual machine.

    Im trying to install on a MacBook Pro i7 quad core 8 GB of RAM. The merger is the version 4.0.1

    What should I do?

    Thanks in advance,

    Bill White

    Hi Bill,

    You should be able to install and configure 10.6.3 on the Core 2 Duo Mac Mini.  If you were to then move it as-is on the MBP, it fails at startup in the same way that you see with the installation program now... however... If, although the host of Core 2 Duo, you apply each update is available via software update, turn off the prompt, then move it into the Core i7, there is a good chance that it will work (I think 10.6.8 supports your Core i7 CPU)...  Definitely worth a shot.

    See you soon,.

  • Question: How can I format external drive in exFAT? NOT in NTFS!

    OK, so frustrated that I had to go through the hedges to sign up here to ask a question like that. Why can I NOT format exFAT? I have many external HDDs that were formatted in exFAT under WIndows XP Pro but my new system, completely updated Windows 7 Professional, I can't format external drives of exFAT. The option is NOT available. In the Format window, file system, is the only option: NTFS (default), there is no other option. I googled the * on this issue and found no answer. This external hard drive MUST be formatted as a disc exFAT. Period. Someone please help.

    I'm surprised the research online increase this... You can do it from the command prompt, but not from this dialog box.  Here's how:

    -Open a command prompt by typing cmd in the start/search box, right click on the cmd search result and select "Run as Administrator"
    -Type format g: FS:exFAT , then press ENTER to start formatting the G drive as exFAT
    To view all other options, type format /? and press ENTER.

  • You can import users of snow leopard server in el capitan Server

    I have a client with a server on Snow Leopard (10.6).  It has never been updated so far.  Can I export the users and groups in Workgroup Manager, and then import them directly into the server of El Capitan?

    Yes.  You can do it three ways.  The first is to export the flat files by using the export of managers of the working group.  You can do this for users and groups.  The point here is that you don't have passwords.  Flat files will not flat files password export as plain text.  However, export of Workgroup Manager can give you more data you want to import into a new system as the MCX is discouraged.  You can use dsexport instead.  Using dsexport allows you to exclude attributes that you cannot be postponed.  The third way is to export an archive Open Directory.  An archive is a DMG file password which will include passwords, but also all of the stuff that you can't move protected.  In Admin Server on the 10.6 machine go to the archive and export an archive of OD.  This method may not be perfect, but if you must keep the UID and GUID values such as password, an archive of the AO is the best method.  But, be prepared for oddities as there is a lot of distance between 10.6 and 10.11.

  • How to use the external drive recovery with ODD?

    Hello

    I need to recover my Toshiba laptop via original Toshiba recovery dvd, but my internal dvd ram does not work, then, how I upgraded my pc to search for external dvd ram when windows starts? I followed the instructions and the C button when starting the computer, but when I press F12 boot any drive, I select my pc starts just windows...

    Thanks for your help. J. Hlavsa

    Hello

    Your laptop is old laptop model and OS can be installed using recovery media only.
    External ODD cannot be recognized as boot device and you won't be able to use it.

    See operating manuals and there you will find a list of all compatible ratings, buy one and replace.
    Replacement isn't complicated and you can do it alone.
