In that you can see all the external drives. So it is now possible to install.Īfter running Parallels Tools there is a Parallels Shared folders icon on the Desktop. That can be connected, and within it Parallels Tools is available. In any case, using the Parallels Devices > CD/DVD shows that there is now a "macOS image file.iso" available. This current effort has the guest OS as Monterey, and that may be what has made the difference, or more current versions of Parallels might have made the difference. In this new attempt I was not needing to set up Time Machine, but as it turned out the same issues did not occur so I thought it could be helpful to update the question with some additional information. In the previous attempt from over two years ago I was never able to connect to Time Machine. I again had a requirement to set up a macOS VM. So it appears that all the settings are in place, yet the VM is 100% isolated. And in More Options, Share the Mac clipboard is checked. The VM Configure > Options > Sharing are set to All Disks and Map Mac volumes to the virtual machine. It seems there is some missing piece which prevents sharing of anything between the VM and the host. Trying to access the host file system from the VM fails because it will not accept the username and password.I ejected the drive from the host and reconnected it-the setting in the VM is that it should ask me which to attach to, the host or the VM.It cannot find Time Machine backups on an external drive attached to the host.Using Migration Assistant to load a configuration from a Time Machine Backup: Migration Assistant on the host requires that all applications including Parallels be shut down. Using Migration Assistant to load a configuration from the host fails, because Migration Assistant cannot run on both the host and VM at the same time. I did find that prl-tools-mac.iso is apparently mounted on the VM CD device. But there is no such Parallels Desktop.app. I found some advice saying that the file is located at /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-mac.iso. There is not anything I can find like that. The procedure asks for the Parallels Tools CD. The VM is completely isolated from the host. I would also prefer to be able to restore a configuration from Time Machine or the host Mac. I want to have it be able to share the host file system and clipboard.
