Or you could exchange data between a virtual and real or two virtual machines when debugging a serial port device, etc. Its completely allowed to install OS X Server editions on a virtual machine, so you can install any Mac OS X Server version (normally, virtualization apps offer you Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion) on a virtualization application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox.

For example, it would let you control your modem or printer from a guest OS. For that, go to the menu Virtual Machine -> Virtual Machine Settings, then choose the Options tab, and on the left pick the row Shared Folders. You can also define a folder to be shared between the real and virtual machines. Why use VMware for serial port connection? The scenarios are many. You can drag-and-drop files from the real machine file manager onto the file manager inside the virtual machine. Each virtual machine provides its own virtual hardware including CPUs, memory, hard drives, network interfaces, and other devices.

In part one I showed you how to download VMware Fu. After being added, the virtual ports give you a way to communicate with real serial ports residing on your host machine and to output to a file or a named pipe. In general, virtual machines are sandboxed from the rest of the system, meaning that the software inside a virtual machine can’t escape or tamper with the underlying server itself. HEY GUYS Here's Part 2 In part 2 I show you guys how to create a Virtual Machine using VMware Fusion. With VMware, you are able to create from 1 to 4 virtual serial ports in your VM. If you don’t want to install secondary OS alongside with your main OS but still want to use/try it, then you can use VirtualBox or VMware on your host operating system to run virtual machine. VMware offers its own method to connect the host’s peripherals to a virtual machine. OSBoxes offers you ready-to-use Linux/Unix guest operating systems. The configuration details of each connection may differ based on the host OS. After you enable a VirtualBox serial port, the guest operating system gets a UART device, which makes it possible to receive and send data via a serial connection. VirtualBox is another virtualization software that can come in handy for creating virtual serial ports in a virtual machine.
