I have been using VBox, but there are some problems with VBox under 
Mavericks.  It may be my use of Host Only networking, at least that 
looks to be a common thread in the VBox forum.  The major complaint is 
that it frequently prevents Mac OS X from shutting down (shutdown -h 
now does work) in the normal manner.

The minor complaint is that I cannot get the seamless window mode to 
work, so I am stuck with some fixed size windows.

Maybe now is the time to buy Parallels or Fusion.

One thing that I would like is a way to reserve addresses.  The VBox 
DHCP will assign them 1 up, which means that I need to bring my virtual 
cluster up node by node in the correct order.

Does anyone in this group simulate a cluster with either Parallels or 
Fusion?  Do you have preferences?


Thanks in advance,
