165. Re: Fusion 6.0.2 and OSx Mavericks 10.9.1 - Sleep Wake failure unless I shutdown or suspend my Win7Pro VM before closing lid
Paperinick Mar 6, 2015 10:27 AM (in response to nriahi)Don't waste your time.
I tried everything, nothing works.
In my case VMWare support closed the issue because 'it was opened for too long' and 'a fix will come in the future'.
I am not recommending this product any more and the fact that VMWare claims that it "cannot be reproed in-house" really says something about their QA team.

Terxy Mar 23, 2015 12:39 PM (in response to Paperinick)I gave up on getting a fix from VMWare on this issue.
While OSX should not crash, a driver could crash the kernel. It seems to me like the AppNap is not getting sent to the VM correctly. Disabling AppNap / hibernation etc does not help either. Guess the driver for vmware seems to be not listening (well) to suspend events.
I remembered that didnt have a problem early on, but my Linux VM would take time to resume, whenever my mac resumed, it no longer happens for some reason and I get SWFs.
The way I am solving this for now and seems to work reliably is to use the Sleepwatcher (bb's Homepage) and scripts for suspend/resume use the command line vmware commands to force suspend and resume from system sleep.
-----------
cat ~/.wakeup
/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun -T fusion start <vmx>
-------
cat ~/.sleep
/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun -T fusion suspend <vmx>
-----------
The setup of sleepwatcher is simple and provided in the Readme. It requires some command line operations.

xsima78 Mar 28, 2015 11:18 AM (in response to Terxy)Exactly the same problem on mid 2012 Macbook Pro 15 with Retina.
Even had my main board changed in Apple Store, no difference. It started with upgrade to Maverics, save issues with Yosemite. Tried opening ticket with vmware, never got a reasonable reply only some kind of try vague tips that led nowhere. happening with both 6 and 7.
It is big shame of company like vmware that they cannot fix this and acknowledge the issue.
I strongly suggest everyone to look for competitive product (parallels). I'm from SW industry, it is ok to have bugs. But the ignorance of vmware shows they do not care at all about their customers.

nriahi Mar 29, 2015 12:04 PM (in response to xsima78)xsima78xsima78 , I have confirmation from vmware support that this is acknowledged as a bug. Their development team is working on it but obviously they can't provide an ETA.
For me sudo "pmset -a hibernatemode 0" so far seems to have worked (2 days with no crash). Have you given it a try? Setting Hibernate mode to Zero is not ideal but a good interim solution until the fix is available.
Cheers

FakeCanuck May 25, 2015 8:01 PM (in response to xsima78)Same here. I work in software, too. It's not a good sign, how long this bug has been denied & ignored. Raises troubling questions. Zero priority or resources or QA = Lack of commitment to the product. Is the company planning to discontinue Fusion? If the company doesn't take it seriously, should I?
Apple replaced the battery, the logic board. I reset PRAM, reinstalled OS X, upgraded to 10.10. Upgraded VMware to version 7. Enabled "Pass power status to VM." Disabled disk spin down while connected to the power adapter, disabled various nap and autosave settings. Nothing worked. Next step is to downgrade to VMware 5, which means downgrading OS X too, and all software... not practical.
Only happening since VMware Fusion 6.0.2 -- 5 was stable. Happens when Windows 7 VM is running. Never for Linux-based VMs e.g. CentOS, FortiGate.
VMware 7 "upgrade" did not fix it. Speed is nice, yes, but I need to know that when I walk away from my computer, VMware won't play Russian roulette...
VMware 6 and 7 are stability downgrades.
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012)
OS X 10.10.3
VMware Fusion Pro 7.1.1

170. Re: Fusion 6.0.2 and OSx Mavericks 10.9.1 - Sleep Wake failure unless I shutdown or suspend my Win7Pro VM before closing lid
nriahi May 28, 2015 2:49 PM (in response to FakeCanuck)I gave up altogether. I am very sure that VMware fusion fried my last 4 Mac book pros in the last 7 months. Every time I opened the Mac it was one of 3 possibilities, Mac would wake up or Mac would not wake up and I had too restart it or Mac would be just dead. Took the 4 that died to apple store and in all cases they said mother board needs to be replaced as something was fried on it..
Then with the 5th MBP, I just decided not to install VMware fusion. It has been 6 weeks. Not a single wake issue. Mac still alive and well.

It does seem absurd that this has been going on for so long. I know many people having this issue. I've tried every proposed fix and have not found anything that is reliable.Has anyone heard any updates from VMWARE on this?

FakeCanuck May 28, 2015 5:44 PM (in response to johndefiore)Yes, it still happens. Because it's VMware Fusion that is triggering it -- not Yosemite, Mavericks, etc.
One person reported that support acknowledge the bug. Dev is working on it, they say, but no ETA.

Paperinick Jun 22, 2015 9:29 AM (in response to nriahi)I think this bug might be gone. It didn't repro on my 10.10.3 with 7.1.1 anymore for the full weekend. I put the laptop to sleep about a half dozen times now. I hope I am not speaking too soon.

176. Re: Fusion 6.0.2 and OSx Mavericks 10.9.1 - Sleep Wake failure unless I shutdown or suspend my Win7Pro VM before closing lid
FakeCanuck Jun 22, 2015 10:46 AM (in response to Paperinick)No, it's still there. Mine crashed yesterday (10.10.3 with VMware 7.1.1).
Sometimes it's 6 days between crashes for me. If you reboot a lot, that might have an effect of clearing out the RAM back to initial state before it reaches a crisis; I do not reboot unless forced, and don't quit VMware unless forced either.
Today, upgraded to VMware Fusion 7.1.2. Logged a ticket with support. Quick initial response. But it seemed he had not fully read my initial ticket, because he began asking things I'd already said I tried.
I doubt it is fixed yet.

akohlsmith Jul 5, 2015 9:12 AM (in response to FakeCanuck)11" Air, Mid-2012 (i7, not i5), OSX 10.10.4, VMWare Fusion 7.1.2, Win7 guest. I get the same problem.
I did not notice it on 10.10.3, although it's not often that I leave a VM running and suspend. It seems the issue is more strongly related to Win7 guests, as I don't recall ever seeing the issue with Win8.1 or Linux guests, which I do often forget about when closing the lid.

F1_360 Aug 25, 2015 10:36 AM (in response to FakeCanuck)The only thing that works for me is to suspend the VMWare instances before putting the MacBookAir to sleep. This is really a huge inconvenience as when I do forget once in a while, after a while the computer will crash and I will loose any unsaved work in the VMWare instance.
