Contents of the Virtual Machine Package
The files that describe a virtual machine are bundled in a package in macOS.
Virtual machine files have different functions, as shown in Table 3-1. Files in the Virtual Machine
Package. Some of these files, like the lock files, are created when the virtual machine runs.
Table 3-1. Files in the Virtual Machine Package
File Description
Virtual disk file(s) *.vmdk This can be a single large file or many 2GB portions,
depending on how you set up your disk and if you have
snapshots.
Configuration file *.vmx A plain text file describing the virtual machine, such as
which files it uses, how much RAM it gets, and a variety of
other settings.
BIOS file *.nvram This contains information such as the virtual machine's boot
order.
Log file vmware.log This is a plain text file that contains information on the most
recent run of the virtual machine. The next-most-recent is
called vmware-0.log, then vmware-1.log, and finally
vmware-2.log. If you ever have a problem with Fusion, you
might be asked to provide this file.
Lock files *.lck These files are created for the configuration and disk files
when the virtual machine is running.
Memory files *.vmem Snapshot files are an example of memory files.
