Klasse Anleitung! Habe heute auch BigSur auf einem ESX 7.0.1 installiert. Allerdings ist bei mir der Download zwei Mal am Ende abgebrochen (fehlerhaft). Nachdem ich den vorhandenen Snapshot gelöscht und die Festplatte etwas vergrößert hatte, lief es durch. 🙂
Das ISO File hat inzwischen 20,97 GB. echt heftig.
VMWare Tools habe ich vorher schon auf die neueste Version (11.2) aktualisiert.

For those who are getting Error erasing disk error number (22, 0) instead of sudo hdiutil attach /tmp/BigSur.dmg -noverify -mountpoint /Volumes/BigSur run this:

~ sudo hdiutil attach /tmp/BigSur.dmg -noverify -nomount
~ diskutil list
Notice your diskN from the latest command which is the BigSur image just created (replace N with your number)
Then run:
~ diskutil mountDisk /dev/diskN
Continue with the tutorial

I created a bootable iso of Big sur 11.0.1 (final) to install on VMware 16 pro, a strange thing happens to me I don’t know if it is a defect I can do the installation without problems but the installer starts in recovery mode ( then I click on reinstall macOs and do the installation) is this norma

Hey Adam,

I have created and uploaded the latest version of macOS Big Sur. Check here and let me know if it works on ESXi 7: https://www.wikigain.com/download-macos-big-sur-beta-iso-image/

Thank you for posting! The Big Sur.app released yesterday, downloaded today (on Catalina) was 12.22 GB. I experimented, and 12500m was too small by about ~185m, so settled on 12700m, final .ISO is 13.32 GB. Am going to try installing it on ESXi 7 after this. Thanks again.

For me createionstallmedia gave erasing error 22. When created .dmg with Disk Utility (it mounts automatically) worked fine.
