Can I run an Ignite Server on a VM?
Does HP Support running an HP Ignite server off of an HP VM running HP-UX 11.31?
Thanks

Re: Can I run an Ignite Server on a VM?
First, I don't know the official answer.
You can do it, but I would not suggest it. In the first manuals of IVM was a remark that it should not be used for heavy IO application like Ignite, this has changed with the AVIO drivers but I would still go with a physical system.
As always it depends .... how many clients do you plan to run against that server?

Re: Can I run an Ignite Server on a VM?
I am looking at managing about 20 clients from that server. I would much rather use a physical box, but that is not an option at this point in time.

Found it ...
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02023903/c02023903.pdf
Page 22
Typical software you can run on a guest includes the following: • HP-UX 11i V2 or V3 Virtual Server Operating Environment (VSE-OE) • Software installation tools (Ignite-UX and Software Distributor-UX) • System performance monitoring tools (GlancePlus, Measureware, OpenView Operations Agent)
And 20 client should not put so much pressure on the system, last point - if you have no choice - try it ;-)
hth,
Stephan

Re: Can I run an Ignite Server on a VM?
As long as you keep the depots (the "file server storage" part of IUX) on a "real" machine, I do not see any problems with a guest running IUX.
