Fire alarms just went off. Was outside for about 40 minutes but still don't know why.

I wish we had no experience with this at MangoCon.

I have a vendor who will only use a Linux SCO image INSIDE of Cent OS 5 with ESX running. Is it possible to put CentOS 5 into hyper-V and then within that VM do all of the other stuff to essentially MAKE an SCO image compatible with something like Hyper-V?

They put SCO Linux running on what hypervisor, on top of CentOS 5, on top of ESX? That's three ancient systems. None of those are new enough to consider. As bad as it is, having a triple nested system is so bad... it would be something like this...

Application
     |
SCO Linux
     |
VirtualBox
     |
 CentOS 5
     |
   ESX 3
     |
Hyper-V 2016

That's three hypervisors and two operating systems all to run one application.

I thought 3-2-1 was a good thing?!

The vendor essentially told me he doesn't know what hes doing. Our site was the "first time he's done this". The problem is the city will not move to another piece of software. They will not pay for it. It's so insanely old. We wanted to replicate it in Hyper-V but none of this is compatible.

I would... just not bother.

And I was being sarcastic, if it was lost in the translation, lol.

This is the kind of stuff that drives me nuts in IT. You can't force people to make the right choice.
