Which is a vmware fusion and workstation-compatible driver, but this will not be a drop-in driver for us, as there is likely no RPC support, which we would still need (as we use libmachine unmodified, while minikube has an in-repo modification). The same for the minikube repo: they synced a year ago and have since not provide any fixes. The same for the official repo of libmachine which has only seen typo changes. The VMware repo of libmachine has not seen improvements for 2 years on their master. Unless a maintained driver is available the current support is nothing more than flaky. kubernetes/minikube#2058 to drop support.We already kinda mention we do not support the setup when they report an issue involving VMware.
How to Fix Slow Windows VMs on VMware Fusion 8.I am for removing the code, but in the sense of a deprecation period.
Making Windows 10 inside VMWare Fusion 8.x a bit quicker on OSX 10.11 El Capitan.VMware Performance Enhancing Tweaks (Over-the-Counter Solutions) Solved the issue on my High Sierra 10.13.6 with VMware Fusion 8.5.10 Carl R.When you use a snapshot, disk I/O is parsed through each snapshot. If you don’t need snapshots, remove them. This can trigger Windows activation.ĭisabling the logging should speed things up a bit Prevents Fusion from attempting to start the virtual machine with less memory than specified. Speed up I/O at the cost of increased memory usage in the host OS Turns off memory sharing between virtual machines Only use this if your MacBook has a SSD driveĭisable memory trimming, less overhead for the Fusion memory manager This will optimize disk I/O for SSD drives. This will change the default network adaptive to an enhanced driver Change ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000e” to ethernet0.virtualDev = “vmxnet3”.vmx file, the clearest technique is documented on the page: “Modifying the. There are a couple of ways of getting at the. There are some settings that are not directly exposed through the settings dialog. Set “Pro-allocate disk space” to enabled.Open Advanced Options and select “Enable hypervisor applications in this virtual machine”.If you have less memory, remember to leave at least 2 GB to the MacOS OS. Give the virtual machine as much ram as you can, but without starving the host OS.
My Macbook Pro has a quad core i7, so I run with 2 cores assigned to the virtual machine.
