[Info-vax] OpenVMS x86 on VMWare Fusion

[Bob Wilson]

I've been using VMware Fusion for a while and don't remember having much trouble setting it up. I'm using SATA disks, which is different than what you're doing.

Except for adding the serial line items in the .vmx file (with an editor) I don't recall having to do very much that I couldn't do in the GUI to setup the VM and the attached storage.

I was using the free ("player") license for a while until I got a "real" license provided by my management.

The one thing that you don't get with the free license is network connectivity, which wan't too much of a problem for me (anything that I needed to get to/from the Fusion VM I "sneakernet'd" with a .vmdk that was "shared" with a VirtualBox VM)
