    1. 1 Virtualization and SCO UNIX Mohammed Ali @ SCO

    2. 2 Topics Covered What is Virtualization. Benefits of Virtualization. Leading virtualization product providers. VMware and its flavours Areas where SCO Unix can benefit from VMware ESX. How to setup an SCO UNIX virtual engine under VMware ESX 3.5.0 Server. Some Examples of SCO UW714, OSR6 & OSR507 running on VMware ESX 3.5.0 server. Live Demo on how to setup a OSR6 virtual engine. Question and Answers

    3. 3 What is Virtualization Virtual Platform allows multiple guest operating systems to run concurrently on a single standard PC / Server, without partitioning and rebooting It emulates a Computer It creates a CPU, BIOS, hard disks, memory, and all the other components of a regular computer for guest OS to run on and use

    4. 4 Benefits of Virtualization Consolidations of servers. One server to administrate Running current OS’es on complex hardware and devices. Some current OS’es lack driver support on new hardware Running legacy OS’es (Legacy applications) For legacy reasons, old OS’es and application can still run on modern hardware. Good platform for evaluating, testing and developing

    5. 5 Some Virtualisation Products VMware www.vmware.com Microsoft Virtual PC / Virtual Server www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/default.aspx Parallels http://www.parallels.com Cetrix XenSource http://www.citrixxenserver.com

    6. 6 VMware – Commonly used VMware is a virtual machine software It runs multiple operating systems on a single computer It’s an excellent testing and development platform It’s an enterprise-class server as well Create a snap-shot image of the virtual OS at any time of operation (Ideal for system recovery if guest OS panics after a maintenance work) Plus many more advantages

    7. 7 Common Flavors of VMware VMware ESX Server – Enterprise (Infrastructure) Class Ideal for emulating enterprise class servers for live environment. Built directly into a custom Linux kernel (Mini Linux) – Installable CD VMware Workstation – Desktop Ideal for developers (testing and developing) Runs on top of Windows & Linux VMware Server – Freeware Ideal for evaluating the VMware product Runs on top of Windows & Linux More products of VMware are available on http://www.vmware.com/products/product_index.html

    8. 8 How does SCO Unix benefit from VMware ESX Run SCO legacy OS’es on modern hardware, i.e Openserver 5.0.4, 5.0.5, 5.0.6 UnixWare 7.1.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2 (OU8) Run current SCO OS’es on modern and complex hardware (where there is lack of SCO drivers) i.e: 64 Bit Servers, iSCSI (Storage), SAN, NAS, VMware Cluster, 10GB NIC, 4GB Fibre Host Bus Adapter (Emulex, Qlogic) Note: SCO drivers for some of the above modern hardware are in the pipeline ?

    9. 9 Ways to Administer a VMware ESX Server VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client Installed on windows 2000/XP/2003. with this GUI tool as root, you can administer anything VMware Virtual Infrastructure (VI) Web Access http:<VMware server IP address> Only performs basic ESX functions like controlling existing machines (start/stop/pause) and console remote access Console access to the Service Console Direct console access on the VMware server press Alt-F1, you can get access to the Linux login prompt of the ESX service console and login as root SSH to the Service Console
