I also reviewed this solution, How to: Mac Firmware Restoration - yet I cannot downgrade this firmware! This is just unacceptable that I cannot rollback Apple's mistakes. This unit (which shipped with High Sierra) has 00 which was NOT disclosed to VMware (why would I want to run Fusion when I could run many Mac Pro models redundantly with high availability ONLY with vSphere/ESXi/vMotion/vSAN?). , I reviewed the firmware installed on this model with that against VMware HCL. (I speculate this was due in part to Apple addressing CVE-2017-5853/5854) Īdditional research of the vmkernel.log indicated that there were still issues with AHCI and the SSD. Upon further review of a Duo Security article on Apple's failure to properly deploy EFI updates nor notify end users that they failed (even though the user clearly believes they installed all security updates), I found that my firmware was not as expected. During installation, I am presented at the end with "No Supported Network Adapters Found" and my only option is to outright quit the installation of ESXi 6.5 Update 1. I purchased a Mac Pro 6,1 with the sole intention of using this under the VMware vSphere HCL (the ONLY supported Apple product that permits virtualization under EULA). This is not cool for any high end product.
