macOS libvirt XML configuration.
Run "virt-xml-validate macOS-libvirt-Catalina.xml" to validate this file.
To install this file, you may place it at ~/.config/libvirt/qemu/
and run: virsh define macOS-libvirt.xml.
This configuration has been tested in Ubuntu 20.04 with stock QEMU-KVM.
Move/rename images and loader/nvmram files and paths as you wish.
!!! Don't forget to replace CHANGEME with your values !!!
Adjust memory and currentMemory to 3145728 if you want only 3 GiB.
Consider removing some cpu features if your hardware lacks support.
Replace spice with vnc if you prefer it.
Current network configuration is a local bridge (192.168.12x.x).
Change it to if you prefer a public bridge instead:
Change interface to <interface type='user'>
and remove the <source bridge='virbr0'/>
Or use virt-manager to edit this line instead of virsh edit.
Note: Default configuration caused severe clock problems
under Fedora 27 w/ i7-5820K. This is because Darwin uses
tsc (time since last tick) for time, and for me did not
fall back to rtc in the event of a clock mismatch with
libvirt's default time source. Therefore we must explicitly
give the clock a tsc timer for kvm to pass to the guest.
See comments on the <kvm> and <clock> attributes.
