Gaia iso for ARM chip

[amgamundani]

 Is there anyone who managed to run a Virtual Machine on the  Apple M1 Max Chip, where they have been successful with installing the Gaia OS from the iso ?  I trying to setup the CCSA lab environment and stuck as to whether there could be any Gaia iso compatible with the M1 Max chip.

Gaia runs on X86 hardware, not ARM.
That means your emulator would also have to emulate X86 on top of ARM.
Whether that works is a separate question.

Should work with the UTM app from Apple Store that uses QEMU - currently, VMWare Fusion Tech is only in state Preview...

No I have already check using UTM software but it dosen't work. I was testing on M3 chip

Why reply to a post from 05-12-2021 ?

Sorry I was looking for an article as I was evaluating this on M3 but I missed to check the date for this post. 

Anyway the latest update is that till now there is no more ARM support

This is not true - see:

sk170777: Support of Windows on ARM processor for Remote Access Clients

sk176663: Harmony Endpoint Client for Windows on ARM processor platform support

I am not talking about running checkpoint client on M3 processor

Nobody will want to run a CP GAiA GW / SMS on a unit with Apple Macintosh M3 processor  - this is just much to expensive ! See https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/General-Topics/GAIA-R80-40-Install-on-Paralells-MAC-M1-ARM/m-p/1...

Note that I would personally like to see the management software built for aarch64. I just don't think it's going to happen.

I ended up getting a small amd64 VM host to run my management VMs for API development. Super Micro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F (Intel Atom C3758; 8c8t, 25W TDP), 128 GB of RAM, a 500 GB NVMe SSD, four 1 TB SATA SSDs, and Akasa Euler M case (fanless). It's a slightly boosted Antsle one D+ (2x default RAM, 2x default SATA SSDs). Mine is running Windows Server 2019 Datacenter with Storage Spaces and Hyper-V. I use the R81.20 CloudGuard image plus some scripts and a few OpenBSD VMs to build a rotating SmartCenter and a separate rotating MDS, both with eval licenses.

To run this on an ARM-based system, you'd have to have an emulator capable of emulating x86 hardware.
Parallels does not do that.
