Hi,
I have VMware vSphere 5 server, it is hosted on Apple hardware and Mac VM is created.
When I enabled filevault and machine is rebooted then virtual machine is not getting boot. i.e. machine goes in unusable state.
So, please let me know, what is the work around or how I can use filevault on VM.
Thanks,
Rakesh
have you posted at vmware's forum too ?
because there would be more users of their virtual machine software there then here I'd think
Nope. I'll post there as well.
Does the VM work properly if you disable FileVault? Encrypting a .vmdk is not the same as a physical disk partition.
Yes, that VM works perfect if FileVault is disabled.
Apple Bootmanager on regular Macs knows how to unlock FV2 volumes using pass phrases that you supply interactively. You will need to raise a software issue with VMware to get equivalent functionality in vSphere 5.x. Have you tested with v6.x?
Thanks Loner for the details. I will check on that.
I have not tested with v6.x.
Does that mean it will work on v6.x?

Not necessarily. Please test and create a software bug for VMware, if it does not.
FileVault Encryption is not working on virtual machine created on VMware vSphere5 Server
