I am sorry to report that I do not see this menu item "Power On to Firmware" in the Virtual Machine menu. I have attached a screenshot of this menu when my virtual machine is powered down.

I need to reboot my VMWare image of MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) into the recovery partition or some other boot disk so that I can resize the main partition of the VMWare disk. I tried a lot of different things, but I haven't been able to get the VMWare image to either boot into recovery mode or else boot from an image. One thing I tried is creating a .dmg from the Recovery image using Disk Utility and then mounting it through VMWare and then choosing it as the startup disk in Fusion. This did not work. What's the best way to do this?

I was finally able to get it to work. Looks like the trick to installing High Sierra in VMWare Fusion is to create a High Sierra installation image file as follows: Create a sparse disk image: hdiutil create -o HighSierra -size 8G -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J -type SPARSE Then mount it: hdiutil attach HighSierra.sparseimage -noverify -mountpoint /Volumes/install_build Run the create install media program: sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/install_build Detach Apple's high Sierra volume: hdiutil detach /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra/ hdiutil convert HighSierra.sparseimage -format UDZO -o HighSierra.dmg Then use VMWare Fusion  to create a new disk image using HighSierra.dmg you just created.

I'm setting up some automated tests for a USB device driver and I want to be able to use some kind of script to change which VM a given USB device is connected to. I know how to do that in the GUI. I am using VMWare Fusion 8.5.3 (4696910) on MacOS X. I'm thinking I would like to do some automated tests using guest OS that are different versions of MacOS X as well as Linux, so probably several virtual machines. I checked to see if it can be done via Applescript but it appears that VMWare Fusion does not have a scripting dictionary. I am wondering if that is something that can be done via the command line? Or is this a feature that is available in VMWare Fusion Pro?
