I've reinstalled OSX and problem seems reproducible. I've swapped out the USB CD, swapped out the CD, tested all against known working and found no failure in either CD or CD player. The "same" thing happens if I play the CD - no sound, just skips through the CD in about 30 seconds. However the import of music "fails" as only 50-100 KB of data are copied for each 9-14 MB song. The device appears and CDs inserted are identified. I've attached the USB CD/DVD drive to the VMs both as a host based IDE device and as a SCSI device. The problem I'm having is using a host attached CD/DVD player as a source for iTunes music import. I have to VMs installed on the host, both OSX 10.9. Everything just works, mostly, which is great. I've installed your 5.5U1 iso on a Mac Mini 6,2 with 16GB using 1GB USB drive for the boot device, the 1 TB HDD is used as the datastore.

HBA Name Driver Link State UID Description How can I disable VT-d in the latest version of Mac mini? Thanks. According to that article it could be related to a bug with VT-d. However, the attached hdd is not able to be detected. Hi William, I installed a VIB ( ) and then the storage adapter is detected as vmhba1 and vmhba32.

To install the custom VIB, you will need to upload it to your ESXi datastore and run the following command:Įsxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes//vghetto-apple-thunderbolder-ethernet.vib -f The reason for needing a custom VIB versus appending the device ID to something like /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh is that when the script runs it is too late from a networking stack point of view. The fix is actually quite simple and I have created a custom VIB called vghetto-apple-thunderbolder-ethernet.vib which will add the appriorpiate device ID to a new custom map file called /etc/vmware//apple.map which will not collide with the existing tg3.map file. If the device was officially supported, then it would have been automatically claimed by the vmkdevmgr which handles both vmklinux and Native Driver devices. The reason the Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter is not being recognized is that its device ID ( 14e4:1682) is not in tg3 (Broadcom) map file /etc/vmware//tg3.map. Having said that, the Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter and Mac Mini was never officially supported, so we were actually lucky that it had worked in the first place. Looking into this issue, it looks like with the release of ESXi 5.5 and the introduction of the new Native Driver architecture, it had a slight impact to the Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter. The only issue that I found is if you are using the Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter, you will find that after the install/upgrade, the network adapter no longer shows up.

As promised to some folks on Twitter, here is a custom ESXi 5.5 ISO for Mini 6,2 that you can just download and install without any manual intervention: If you have a Mac Mini 6,2 the old SMC issue has been resolved, but the PSOD issue is still occurring.

I just upgraded my Apple Mac Mini 5,3 this morning from ESXi 5.1 Update 1 to the latest ESXi 5.5 release and I am very happy to report the upgrade worked flawlessly! When ESXi 5.5 is generally available, you will be able to just download the ISO and install or upgrade your existing Mac Mini without requiring additional drivers for the on-board network adapter to function correctly.
