How can I run a JumpBox on Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac?
JumpBoxes will run on Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac if you use the Parallels Import option to import the JumpBox.vmx file. I suspect that the same process will work on the other Parallels 5 products. Details on how to perform this on a Mac can be found below.
Importing a JumpBox
- First off, we assume that you have already downloaded and extracted a JumpBox zipfile somewhere on your computer.
- The next step is to expand the virtual machine dropdown so you see the "Import..." option.
- Select "Import..." from the dropdown menu as shown:
- Choose the "Existing Virtual Machine" option and then click the "Continue" button.
- Now click the "Choose..." button to open the file browsing window.
- Find where you extracted the JumpBox on your computer and then select the JumpBox.vmx file and click the "Open" button.
- Click the "Continue" button.
- At this point, you can change the name or destination of the JumpBox but in most cases you can just accept the defaults and simply click the "Migrate" button.
- Wait a few moments as Parallels migrates the JumpBox.
- The JumpBox is now imported. After clicking the "Done" button, your JumpBox should be ready to launch.
