I successfully installed macOS Mojave as a guest OS on Parallels 14.0.1. I installed by using the Parallels Control Center, choosing

Within that guest OS, in the Finder, the sidebar shows an extra volume named
Install macOS Mojave
. ➥ What is this extra volume?
➥ How do I get rid of it? Will doing so cripple my VM?
Parallels Desktop 12 For Mac Mojave
Parallels today is releasing the latest version of its flagship Parallels Desktop virtualization software that allows Mac users to run virtual instances of Windows, Linux, and even additional. Parallels Desktop 14 offers full support for Mojave, the latest version of macOS. You can even use Mojave’s Dark Mode interface while working in Windows. The new application can also run more software than any of its predecessors.
It sounds suspiciously connected to the installer app.
Parallels Desktop 14 is fully compatible with Mac OS Mojave. While Parallels Desktop 13 is partially compatible with Mojave. Still, you can use the same Windows virtual machine with Parallels Desktop 13 on Mac Mojave but you may experience any of the few issues which are listed in the below article. Parallels is excited about the news from Apple and is working hard to get the most out of macOS Mojave in upcoming Parallels Desktop updates. Important: Known Issues or Limitations macOS Mojave is a beta release of an operating system.
Previous versions of Parallels had a nasty problem where it created a second file besides the usual .pvm file, required for operation -- so you might back up and restore the .pvm only to discover that without the second mystery file you could no longer use your virtual machine. Given that history, I'm very nervous about this mysterious extra volume and Parallels dependence on it leading to future total failure when moving to another computer.
No other volumes appear in the configuration panel
