Hi,
Can you guys share me a config.plist for running macOS on hyper-v? It is tedious for me to create one from scratch. Many thanks!
 
A “config.plist” for what software exactly, etc?
To run macOS installer on hyper-v , I must setup opencore which will boot into macOS. config.plist is the configuration file for opencore. Usually an opencore powered macOS disk image has the following layout

com.apple.recovery.boot/
\_BaseSystem.chunklist
\_BaseSystem.dmg
EFI/
\_BOOT/
\__BOOTx64.efi
\_OC/
\__ACPI/
\__Drivers/
\__Kexts/
\__Resources/
\__Tools/
\__config.plist <- this is what I want
\__OpenCore.efi
Here is a sample of config.plist https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/blob/master/Docs/Sample.plist
 
I’ve never tried OC on Windows Hyper-V, but in just 5 min of reading, it’s pretty clear the OC config.plist is hardware specific, as hypervisor just pass through to hardware. You have a sample config.plist. Now customize it for your hardware.
