I have not touched VMWare and don't know where to
start to investigate this issue. So I thought I'd
post it here where several users have implemented various
systems for their own use or client's to solicit recommendations
on suitable system configurations to replace the client's
current servers.
The client running SCO 5.0.5 Enterprise on two
servers, one is the live production and the other is
a "hot spare."
Gack. Can you get the clients upgraded to 5.0.7? There are real
problems installing older versions of OpenServer under VMware, due to
issues with older drivres for the emulated BusLogic SCSI controller.
Bela and others have recommended using IDE emulation rather than SCI on
VMWare server or workstation for OpenServer installations.
VMware ESX does not support IDE emulation, only SCSI. I don't like
VMware ESX, I think it's an excuse to sell a lot of expensive,
specialized hardware and software that's unnecessary for small
installations. Don't get me started on that excuse for a Windows GUI
they use to manage it.
