macOS Unlocker V3.0 for VMware ESXi
===================================
1. Introduction
---------------
Unlocker 3 for ESXi is designed for VMware ESXi 6.5 and 6.7.
The patch code carries out the following modifications dependent on the product
being patched:
* Fix vmware-vmx to allow macOS to boot
* Fix libvmkctl to allow vSphere to control the guest
The code is written in Python as it makes the Unlocker easier to run and
maintain on ESXi.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| IMPORTANT: |
| ========== |
| |
| Always uninstall the previous version of the Unlocker before using a new |
| version. Failure to do this could render VMware unusable. |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
2. Installation
---------------
Copy the distribution file to the ESXi host datastore using scp or some other
data transfer system.
Decompress the file from the ESXi console or via SSH:
tar xzvf esxi-unlocker-xxx.tgz
(xxx - will be the version number, for example, 300)
Run the command from the terminal:
./esxi-install.sh
Finally reboot the server.
3. Uninstallation
-----------------
Open the ESXi console or login via SSH and chnage to the folder where the files were extracted.
Run the command from the terminal:
./esxi-uninstall.sh
Finally reboot the server.
4. Notes
--------
A. There is a command added called esxi-smctest.sh which can show if the patch is successful. It must be run from a
terminal or SSH session. The output should be:
/bin/vmx
smcPresent = true
custom.vgz false 38725560 B
B. The unlocker can be temporarily disabled during boot by editing the boot options and adding "nounlocker".
5. Thanks
---------
Thanks to Zenith432 for originally building the C++ unlocker and Mac Son of Knife
(MSoK) for all the testing and support.
Thanks also to Sam B for finding the solution for ESXi 6 and helping me with
debugging expertise. Sam also wrote the code for patching ESXi ELF files and
modified the unlocker code to run on Python 3 in the ESXi 6.5 environment.
The code is available at https://github.com/DrDonk/esxi-unlocker
