[Xen-users] Xenserver 4.0.1 running SCO Flavors

["Puttur, Kiran" <kiran.puttur@xxxxxx>]

Hi Xenusers,

 

I am trying to move all my SCO Machines running OpenServer 6.0.0, OpenServer 5.0.7,  UnixWare 7.1.4 to a Xenserver VM. As first step

I installed Xenserver 4.0.1  on a brand new HP ML370G5 box running Intel Xeon 5300 processor with Intel VT support. After installation I created

New VM from Xencenter by choosing -> New VM and then chose -> Other Install Media  in Templates and then went on to add 1 CPU / 256 MB memory

With 4GB of Virtual Hard Disk. After creating the VM, I tried booting the VM Using OpenServer 6.0.0, OpenServer 5.0.7, UnixWare 7.1.4 Installation Media

Looks like none of the media seems to be recognized by the VM.   The console displays a  following message

 

Processor 1 : XenSource ®  Virtual CPU

XS Virtual IDE Controller                Hard Drive (4608MB)

Unknown Device

Unknown Device

XS Virtual ATAPI – 4                     CD-Rom/DVD-Rom

 

Boot device : CD-ROM – success

 

 

But VM just hangs here without giving any further message, I tried booting to Windows, Linux (Red Hat) CD’s they all seems to work fine.

 

I know for the fact that SCO Versions does not run on XenServer as VM, or rather there is no support  announced for SCO Flavors

 but I would like to know why the SCO Image in the CD does not boot?

 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
Kiran Puttur.
