Purchased a M1 Mac Mini used time machine to transfer data

Time Machine backup from MBP Catalina running VM Fusion Pro 12.1

Failed to power on ‘/Users/xxxxxxx/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 10 x64 (original).vmwarevm/Windows 10 x64.vmx’

Does Fusion not support Rosetta2?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Fusion.

Fusion doesn’t power on VMs on the M1 hardware yet, there are numerous threads here on that topic.

I have the same problem. Any solution found yet? — Why is it possible to install it on a M1 but cannot use?

It will require an updated version of Fusion to be made available, you can learn more from existing threads by searching this forum area for «M1».

We will likely see a version that can boot ARM based VM’s, but one that supports Intel based VM’s is a lot of work, and may or may not ever come. The Fusion UI itself runs under rosetta, but none of the virtualization code will work.

And just a note to the OP: Time Machine backups are completely unreliable for virtual machines. *strongly* suggest using a separate dedicated backup mechanism for VM’s.

The net is that if you need to run intel windows right now, you’ll need an intel machine for the foreseeable future.

Cool thanks. I’ve seen reviews of people running VMs and I guess just I assumed it was Fusion on Rosetta 2.

Everything that’s currently out is only ARM based guests. There’s hacks with some open source stuff, and a really rough preview of another commercial product, but nothing production ready. VMWare tweeted that they’re working on an ARM guest version, and I’m sure they’re waiting until it’s much more real and viable to release (beyond just a tech concept). My personal (no inside baseball info) guess is that we’ll see that in Q1.

For intel guests it gets a lot fuzzier. If apple enables the hypervisor framework to leverage rosetta, then we might see it. If not, building your own CPU emulator is a huge amount of work — even microsoft is discovering that as they try to build x86/64 emulation on windows for ARM. BTW, that’s my best guess for a near-term solution for intel workloads — windows arm, with windows based emulation, running inside fusion. the problem there is that windows arm is only sold to OEM’s so there’s no retail option.

Is the support issue solved from VMware side or not yet

May you elaborate more, which version you are refering to

Agreed with @dlhotka. Apple Silicon is forcing some hard choices here.

For all the good that Rosetta does it’s solving a different and simpler problem than what would be needed to support an operating system. Rosetta focuses on translation/emulation for user-mode x86 applications and uses some very clever approaches to do it (for example, translating/caching the entire x86 app into ARM code at first invocation and letting all system calls run in native ARM code). It does provide a subset of the x86 architecture and doesn’t have to deal with:

multiple processes/threads creation, management and «time slicing»
user/system context switches
memory mapping, hardware page tables and memory access enforcement
system/user mode operation
privileged instructions
device I/O and interrupts

that would be required to support an operating system. For user-mode applications, macOS does all the above so Rosetta doesn’t have to.

I’ve seen reports about QEMU emulating x86 on ARM. Yes it works, but from what I’m hearing the speed is nothing to write home about.

Unfortunately the transition is (still) not good news for Mac users that depend on x86 operating systems at this point in time.

I just bought WMWare Fusion 12 and Windows 10 (ISO file). I created the virtual machine according to instructions and it won’t power on. I get the error message «Failed to power on ‘XXX.vmx’.

I don’t understand, since the machine is new and hasn’t booted successfully even once. I’m running it on MacOS Big Sur 11.3.1 on a MacBook Air.

Disclaimer: I’m not an advanced user. But that also means I didn’t do anything special.

On an M1 processor by any chance?

Yes, an Apple M1 chip. I’m guessing there’s a known issue with this?

There currently is no support for VMware Fusion on apple hardware with a M1 (Apple Silicon) processor, but it has been disclosed that VMware is working on it and that they expect a release somewhere this year. VMware does normally not release time lines on upcoming features (and please note that I do not work for VMware) due to it being a publicly traded company.

Also note that once will be able to run virtual machines on your M1 mac, it will still not run virtual machines that require an intel or amd processor.

As it is, it is unlikely that you will be able to run existing virtual machines on your M1 once support for Apple Silicon arrives.

Here is another thread on the subject with some more details and discussion:

Moderator note: I moved your post to the VMware Fusion discussions area

I am on a 2020 Mac air, Big sur. I am trying to run Kali Linux in VMware fusion but it keeps saying failed to power on. I have tried many things already and read similar posts to these but none have worked. Is what I am doing posssible and what are the possible fixes to this error. Thanks!

Does your Mac have an Intel or Apple processor? (it must be Intel for Fusion)

What version of Fusion do you have installed? (it must be 12 on BigSur)

I have 12 installed. Also, I am using apple m1 chip. Is it possible to do this on m1 chip?

The short answer to your question is «No».

Fusion requires a Mac with an Intel CPU. It’s not supported on M1 Macs as it does not provide emulation of the x86 instruction set on the M1 CPU that would allow a x86-based guest operating system to run.

I just got a new 2017 MacBook Pro and copied over my 2 VMs (win 10, OS X 10.12) from my old 2011 MBP. When I opened the VMs I chose the the «moved» option. Neither VM will open with both giving the same error.

I am running Fusion 8.5.8

I would take a look at the comments at the bottom of this post to see if they help?

» I encountered this problem on my Mac after upgrading to a new Macbook pro. I went to the VM settings, then Processor and Memory tab, then «advanced options» and uncheck both options. I was then able to boot up the virtual machine.»
