I am trying to convert my macbook pro into parallels pvm. macos Yosemite with parallels 12, guest macos Yosemite. ATM I am trying to using the same macbook pro host itself content as the guest macos using parallels 12.

1. I created the basic Yosemite pvm using parallels and configure it with two hard drives

2. I used disk utility restore function to restore the second hard drive with the content of my bootable macbook pro hard drive.
I knew I could use CCC, i just prefer the apple original disk utility to do the clone job. And I did not wanna mess with the time machine, because it will not be the exact the clone copy of the original one.

Obviously it will not boot, whenever I try so it will give me the white prohibition sign.

when I use diskutil list to check the hard drives

macbook pro hard drive:
GUID-partition_scheme
EFI
Apple-HFS Macintosh HD

cloned guest Yosemite second hard drive:
GUID-partition_scheme
EFI
Apple-HFS Macintosh HD

guest Yosemite first hard drive:
GUID-partition_scheme
EFI
Apple_CoreStorage
Apple_Boot Recovery HD

would this be the reason why it will not boot?
How can I make this work??
