Getting Started with VMware Fusion

Introduction

VMware Fusion™enables you to run your favorite Windows applications and

PC-only devices on your Intel-based Mac. Designed from the ground up for

the Mac user, VMware Fusion makes it easy to take advantage of the

flexibility, security, and portability of virtual machines to run Windows and

other x86 operating systems side by side with Mac OS X.

What Is a Virtual Machine?

A virtual machine is a software equivalent of a physical computer that, like

the physical machine, runs an operating system and applications. In the case

of VMware Fusion, a virtual machine is equivalent to a personal computer (PC).

A virtual machine is like having a computer running inside another computer,

mimicking the actions of different hardware devices commonly found inside

a computer, such as a processor, memory, and a hard drive. It is a software file

stored on your Mac that contains Windows and all your applications

associated with it.

The Mac that you run a virtual machine on is typically referred to as the host.

In this context, the virtual machine is referred to as a guest.

What You Can Do with VMware Fusion

With VMware Fusion, Intel-based Mac users have many capabilities.

Run your favorite Windows and Linux applications on any

Intel-based Mac, without rebooting – VMware Fusion runs on Mac OS X

Snow Leopard and Leopard, and supports over 90 operating systems,

including Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 7.

Get the most out of your Mac – With support for 64-bit virtual

machines and 32GB of RAM and four virtual processors per virtual

machine, VMware Fusion turns your Mac into a powerhouse.

Run a wide range of sophisticated 3D applications and games –

VMware Fusion lets you take advantage of the combination of your

Mac’s advanced graphics and Windows 7 new desktop with Aero

animations. With DirectX 9.0c Shader Model 3 support and OpenGL 2.1

support for Windows, you can run your favorite Windows games and

applications better than ever without having to reboot.

Create virtual machines easily – The VMware Fusion New Virtual

Machine Assistant guides you through the process of creating a virtual

machine. Windows Easy Install and Linux Easy Install make it easier than

ever to install your favorite operating system on your Mac.

Migrate your Windows PC to a virtual machine effortlessly –

VMware Fusion lets you use your Mac and take your old Windows PC

with you. With the VMware Fusion integrated Migration Assistant, you

can convert your physical PC into a virtual machine to run on your Mac

in a few steps, and access all of your old PC applications and files.

Graduate from Boot Camp – If you have been running Windows using

Boot Camp on your Mac, but want to be able to run Mac OS X and

Windows side by side, VMware Fusion can directly access your existing

Boot Camp partition. You can even import it into a virtual machine,

letting you reclaim your disk space.

Bring your other virtual machines to VMware Fusion – If you have

been using Parallels Desktop or Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac to run

Windows on your Mac, VMware Fusion imports your existing virtual

machines and takes them to the next level of desktop virtualization,

thanks to the combination of stability, performance, and ease of use

available through VMware Fusion.

Keep Windows safer on your Mac – With advanced safety features like

multiple snapshots and AutoProtect, VMware Fusion enables you to

keep your virtual machines safe from unexpected harm. And with a

12-month complimentary subscription to McAfee VirusScan Plus you

can keep Windows spyware and viruses away.

Upgrade VMware Fusion

If you are upgrading VMware Fusion, you do not need to uninstall the version

installed on your computer. Installation and upgrade does not modify

existing virtual machines.

When you upgrade an existing VMware Fusion installation, make sure that all

your virtual machines are properly shut down and that VMware Fusion is not

running. To upgrade the application follow the same steps from “Install

VMware Fusion.”

After upgrading the VMware Fusion, your virtual machines need to have

their VMware Tools upgraded as well. The first time you power on your

Windows virtual machine, it will offer to install VMware Tools. Approve that,

and when the Tools installation is done, restart the virtual machine when

prompted.

Start VMware Fusion

When you start VMware Fusion, the Virtual Machine Library window appears,

open to the Home panel. From this panel you can start any of the actions

described in “Getting Up and Running.”

To start VMware Fusion

In the Applications folder, double-click VMware Fusion.

For instructions on configuring, running, and closing VMware Fusion, see the

VMware Fusion Help.

NOTE Upgrading to VMware Fusion requires a valid 25-character VMware

Fusion serial number. If you do not have one, during installation click

Get Serial Number on the Serial Number panel, which opens a Web portal

where you can purchase an upgrade key.

Getting Up and Running

You can use one of the following options to get up and running quickly with

VMware Fusion:

Create a new Windows virtual machine.

Use an existing Boot Camp installation.

Migrate your existing Windows PC.

Import a Parallels Desktop or Microsoft Virtual PC virtual machine.

Download a prebuilt trial virtual machine.

Create a Windows Virtual Machine with

Windows Easy Install

When you create a Windows virtual machine, you can use the

VMware Fusion Windows Easy Install feature to automatically install

Windows and VMware Tools in your virtual machine. VMware Fusion creates

your virtual machine, selects the default Windows installation options, and

installs VMware Tools, which loads the drivers required to optimize your

virtual machine’s performance. You can also have Windows Easy Install make

your Mac home folder and other folders available to this virtual machine, so

that you can share files between the virtual machine and your Mac.

Alternatively, you can isolate your virtual machine from your Mac and other

virtual machines.

Windows Easy Install is available for the following Windows operating

systems:

Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000

Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server

If you are not using one of these Windows operating systems in your virtual

machine, or you want to install the operating system manually, see the

VMware Fusion Help for details on creating virtual machines.
