          Virtual Machine on Proxmox         

          You need to login to the Xinuos site to download the latest isos:   
          https://www.xinuos.com/product/sco-openserver-6-definitive-2018
          https://www.xinuos.com/product/sco-unixware-7-definitive-2018
   
          Place the iso in the /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ directory on your 
          Proxmox server.
 
          In the Proxmox GUI click the Create VM Button.
          At the General tab, enter the VM name for your 
          new VM and then press the Next button 
          At the OS tab, select the OpenServer or Unixware ISO image 
          from the pull-down menu.
          Set the Guest OS type to: Other and then press the Next 
          button.
          At the System tab, check that the SCSI Controller is set 
          to: VirtIO SCSI single and then press the Next button. 
          In the Disks tab, set the Disk Bus/Device to: VirtIO-Block 
          Set the root Disk size as needed (default is 32GiB) and 
          then press the Next button. 
          At the CPU tab, select the number of CPU Sockets and Cores 
          needed for your VM and then press the Next button. 
          At the Memory tab, select the Memory size needed for your 
          VM and then press the Next button. 
          At the Network tab, select the Network Bridge you want to 
          use for your networking from the pull-down menu 
          (defaults to vmbr0). 
          Set the Network Card Model from the pull-down menu to 
          VirtIO(paravirtualized) and then press the Next button. 
          Click Finish to create the VM. 
           
          Now you can start the VM by selecting the created VM name 
          => console => Start VM 
          The VM will boot from the selected iso to install the OS
          You can use the default loaded vtblk disk HBA and the
          vtnet network driver. 
          
          Note for OpenServer6:
          A reboot after OS installation will boot from harddisk.
          Then you can mount the OpenServer6D iso using the 
          'mount /dev/cd0 /mnt' command and execute the command 
          '/mnt/upgrade.sh' to install MP1 and, optionally, UP1.
          UP1 is only installed when a UP1 license was installed.
          Execute the patchck command to check if newer OS updates
          are available. Install any applicable updates.

          Note for Unixware7D:
          When the cdrom installation is completed, you will be asked to
          remove the CDROM. Navigate from Console to Hardware, edit CD/DVD 
          and select "Do not use any media". Navigate to console again and 
          press <Enter> to reboot. After reboot execute the patchck command
          to install MP1 and, optionally, UP1.
