Whether you use an existing partition of the Apple Mac hardware you have or an external disk, I will leave it to you to decide. But the raw disk VMDK method in the KB is probably your best path forward to achieve what you want. Your host OS X and Fusion versions are quite old as is your intended VM (10.6.8 Snow Leopard). For one thing, High Sierra guests are officially supported only on Fusion 10 and later. There were some quirky steps required for the High Sierra raw disk to get Fusion 8 to run it though these quirks were not needed for the Linux and Windows 10 VM raw disks. If you have any problems downloading the app, please contact us.
For the macOS High Sierra guest, the SSD was from another MacBook Pro that already had High Sierra. For the Windows 10, the raw disk was created and then Windows 10 was installed onto it. For the Linux scenario, the Linux OS was installed/created on a non-Apple laptop and I was able to run the Linux raw disk as a VM within Fusion 8 (in effect a P2V without going through a lengthy P2V conversion process). In all cases, the raw disk was on an external USB SSD. I have used the method specified in the KB to create VMs with Linux, Windows and macOS High Sierra guests in Fusion 8. Such tool automatically finds the suitable driver for your Mac or Windows OS. Most likely Bootcamp partition VMs are created using this same method. If you are unable to download Boot Camp drivers on your Mac computer for some reason or want to download Boot Camp on a Windows PC, you can use a third-party tool.
