Hi Guys, I Have parallels installed on OSX El Capitan and have multiple guest VMs runnings (Database, Server ...etc) .... Problem is if Parallels doesn't have the focus and is running in background, The VMs are automatically "paused", the screen is grey and the only way to kick the VMs back into life is to bring each guest VM into foreground periodically to allow it to resume from paused state into active state. There doesn't seem to be an option available to stop this behaviour of Auto pausing automatically kicking in when guest VM is in background. Would appreciate any help. Thanks
Hi JohnY1, follow the steps given below: 1. Start the Guest OS X virtual machine. 2. Go to System Preferences > Energy Saver > disable 'Put Hard Disk to sleep when possible' and check if it helps!
