Running a VM on another machine with a differing host version #450
-
|
Hello, I created a 15.1 VM on one computer (running 15.1) and am attempting to move it to a different host and run it there. The host has identical hardware but is running macOS 14.7 as its OS. When I've done this in the past (with different macOS versions), it hasn't been a problem. However, currently, the VM fails to launch with "Failed to create hardware model." I've installed the latest Xcode beta (16.2 b2) on the host in hopes of installing the necessary support files, but the issue persists. Is there a solution that does not require me to either update the 14.7 host or downgrade the 15.1 host? Cheers |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

It's possible that the on-disk representation of the hardware model has changed in an incompatible way between the version of Virtualization.framework on macOS 14.7 and the version in the other host. I'm not aware of a workaround, as recreating the hardware model would likely make the VM boot fail. |
