- Virtual Machines (VM) are managed with VMWare Fusion.
- Virtual Machines (VM) are kept on an external hard drive.
- A clean snapshot of the Mac OS version is always maintained for the VM. e.g.
Clean 10.13.3
- You SHOULD check if there are updates to the OS when starting the VM. If so update the OS and then save a new snapshot e.g.
Clean 10.13.6
. Remove the old snapshot afterwards, e.g.Clean 10.13.3
- NEVER do a major upgrade in the same VM, always create a new VM. That way we can access previous major versions. e.g.
10.3.x
,10.4.x
. - After you have finished with the VM, you MUST restore to a clean state, e.g.
Clean 10.13.3
, a courtesy to the next developers.
