Question About Virtualization on Windows / Linux

[Jose Chirinos]

First of all; i apologize for post this question in this category; but i think that this is where i can found an answer.

I have read about virtualization and i want to evaluate it in my company's integrity servers. But we only have installed windows or linux in ours server (we do not have any hp-ux license), it is possible to install the virtualization software under this operating systems??

Thanks in Advanced.

If you have HP-UX installed, you can run HPVM to virtualize HP-UX, Linux and Windows.

If you don't have HP-UX, it don't think any existing software handles virtualization of Itanium, only X86.

Hi

HPVM can be installed on top of the HP-UX only. VM host shoule be a HP-UX system.

If you have Linux as an Operating System you can install VMWare to get virtualised machines. If you want to use HP Integrity Virtual Machines, you will have to install HP-UX 11.23 as the Host OS on a server.
