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.
I need to set up a virtual machine using Parallels on my Mac to have MacOS as a guest machine.
