Try using a full bootable clone instead of time machine (I use Carbon Copy Cloner from Time machine can have silent corruption (particularly if you've used in pre 10.8), and doesn't reliably back up the entire machine. Regarding #4, before I post my logs I would like some confirmation that this is possible AND I am on the right track.Īpple support politely denied help as soon as I said VMWare.įWIW, you may find the development tools don't work in a VM since there's no 3d acceleration. I am a bit frustrated with #1 and #2 because the USB drive does not report any errors while being repaired and it mounts reliably on the host machines. I put a marker in the syslogs before I started MA and after it stopped I saved the logs. at this point I just back out of migration assistant and reboot the machine.ģ) One time migration assistant locked up.Ĥ) Several times the Migration Assistant stopped running and the machine reverted to a login screen. to fix this I go to disk utility and repair the disk.Ģ) Sometimes migration assistant will not see the USB drive despite it being clearly mounted. Something goes wrong each time:ġ) Sometimes the USB drive is not visible. I have tried several things, but this seemed to get me the farthest:ġ) Build a simple guest machine using "Install OS X Mavericks.app".ģ) Connect my USB based time machine backup.Ĥ) Start OSX migration assistant (not VMWare migration assistant). I would like to migrate the old machine en-masse to as a guest machine, then I can migrate piecemeal off of the VM onto the native machine. I have development tools on the machine that I am not sure work on Yosemite. I would like to migrate an existing OSX 10.9.5 machine to a 10.9.5 Guest VM running on a 10.10.1 host.
