[PVE-User] SPAM: Re: new to proxmox

[Doug Ritchie]

Michel,
Just a note… an ‘old’ version of SCO Openserver isn’t going to run well 
on Proxmox…. You need to have paravirtualized HBA and NIc drivers in the 
OS to run well on Proxmox or any KVM-based hypervisor.

Xinuos (current owners of SCO Openserver product line) just released an 
updated installer for Openserver 6 UNIX and ‘KVM Platform License’ that 
includes support for ‘VirtIO SCSI single’ for the HBA and 
paravirtualized NiC drivers to support Proxmox and other KVM-based 
virtualization host platforms.  Previous versions of  Openserver 6 had 
clock timing issues when ran on Proxmox.

In the past couple of weeks, I've been able to successfully install "SCO 
Openserver 6 Definitive 2018" using their newest installer 
(OpenServer6D2M2-DVD.iso - available from xinuos.com) using their 
"Getting Started Guide" and SCO TA # 128147 
<https://wdb1.sco.com/kb/showta?taid=128147>.

If you need assistance with XINUOS/SCO products… I’m part of a 
not-for-profit users group that was originally formed as the SCO user’s 
group… and is known as ‘iXorg, Inc’ (www.ixorg.org). In our upcoming 
conference (“TestFest”) in November, as long as Orlando didn't get 
washed away, we will be loading and configuring a Proxmox cluster for 
running  Openserver 6 Unix VM’s as a replacement for VMWare ESXi. We 
have a couple members that work for Xinuos.

Doug Ritchie, treasurer - IXorg,Inc.


P.S.  -  If you are referring to "SCO Openserver 5.0.7 or older", these 
versions of Unix have no plans to be updated for use on Proxmox/KVM.
