I have googled, looked in the paralles forums & parallels site for the answer & cannot find one. I mightt just not know what terms to search fort [unsplit, recombine, etc] How do I, via the CLI prlctl command, unspilt a drive back into a single uniform drive? I can see/read how to split with --split, but is there an opposite command to unspilt? It is an expanding 64GB split drive [in the standard 2Gb chunks]. Ultimate goal is to recombine, convert to a format that VirtualBox or UTM can import. Since Paralles 20 dropped support for MacOS 10.5-10.8, I am looking to move those machines to VirtualBox or UTM for the rare use case. Thanks!
Maybe check the prl_disk_tool command? Code: command -v prlctl /usr/local/bin/prlctl ls /usr/local/bin/prl* /usr/local/bin/prl_convert /usr/local/bin/prl_disk_tool /usr/local/bin/prl_perf_ctl /usr/local/bin/prlcopy /usr/local/bin/prlcore2dmp /usr/local/bin/prlctl /usr/local/bin/prlexec /usr/local/bin/prlsrvctl man prl_disk_tool
My Mac OS X 10.5.8 virtual machine still seems to work with Parallel Desktop for Mac Version 20.1.2 (55742). Lack of support doesn't mean old VM's can't still work. I agree that dropping support for old OSes is a terrible idea. Being able to run old OSes is the best thing a VM can do, next to being able to run multiple OSes (though many prefer the former).
