  • System Virtualization Support in Sun Java System Products
    SystemVirtualization Support in Sun Java System Products October 2009 This document is maintained by Sun Java System team. Software Products Covered by this Statement This document summarizes Sun support for Sun Java System products when used in conjunction with system virtualization products and features. It applies to Sun products contained in the following Sun Java System suites: ■ Sun GlassFish Portfolio ■ Sun Java Application Platform Suite ■ Sun Java Identity Management Suite ■ Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite ■ Sun B2B Suite ■ Sun ESB Suite ■ Sun MDM Suite ■ Sun Java Web Infrastructure Suite ■ Sun Java Communications Suite Refer to the Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES) and Communications Suite product pages for more information on these suites. The Sun Java Availability Suite and Solaris Cluster are not addressed in this support statement. Refer to the Solaris Cluster product information for further details on Solaris Cluster's support for operating system virtualization. Introduction A core capability of system virtualization offerings is the ability to execute multiple operating system (OS) instances on shared hardware. Functionally, an application deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Sun performs testing of its Sun Java System products on select system virtualization and OS combinations to help validate that the Sun Java System products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized systems. System Resource Sizing The combination of being able to deploy multiple OS instances and applications on a single system and the ease by which system resources can be allocated to OS instances increases the likelihood of realizing undersized environments for your applications.

  • How to Install Virtual Box Marcos Valdebenito
    How to Install Virtual Box Marcos Valdebenito I- Introduction This How To will show the installation of the Virtual Box program that can be set up in Windows XP to run a second Operating System in a single computer. Additionally, Linux OpenSolaris, will be installed to demonstrate the use of the Virtual Box. II -What is VirtualBox? Virtual Box is an Open Source software, is freely available, and performs as a Virtual Machine. It can be installed in the most popular operating systems such as Windows XP and Vista, Macintosh and Linux hosts, while additionally supporting a large number of guest operating systems such as Red Hut, Fedora, Obuntu, OpenSolaris, Open SUSE, Devian. You can even install Windows Vista or Windows XP Guest in a Linux Host without a dual boot environment …just one key will switch from Host OS to Guest OS. This is a big advantage since you can have two operating systems in the same screen at the same time without restarting your machine! III- How to install the VirtualBox We will go step by step in the process of installing VirtualBox in a computer that runs Windows XP. Before proceeding with any installation I suggest to create a new partition exclusively for VirtualBox. I have created a new partition with the letter E: \ and have assigned 16 GB. I’m sure that you don’t need to create a special partition for this installation but I feel more relieved doing it… …and remember VirtualBox is free! 1- To download the VirtualBox application, go to www.virtualbox.org 2- Select on the right side menu, Downloads 3- From the list select VirtualBox 2.0.4 for Windows hosts x86 (for XP only) for other host operating systems select accordingly.

  • Integrating Virtualization Technology Into Remote Labs: a Three Year
    AC 2009-318: INTEGRATING VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGY INTO REMOTE LABS: A THREE-YEAR EXPERIENCE Peng Li, East Carolina University Page 14.771.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Integrating Virtualization Technology into Remote Lab: A Three- Year Experience 1. Introduction and Background Many colleges and universities are facing rising enrollments while the budgets have not been increased proportionally. In our program, enrollment has gone up significantly in the past few years, especially in the distance education (DE) section. How to use the limited resources to deliver quality education effectively and efficiently becomes a real challenge. To deal with this challenge, we have experimented with different virtualization options in the past three years. This paper is a follow-up to the studies1,2 we presented at the previous ASEE conferences and summarizes our three-year experience. Virtualization technology allows multiple guest virtual machines to run simultaneously on a physical computer. The technology was first developed3 at IBM for mainframe systems in the 1960s. The first x86 virtualization product, “VMware Virtual Platform” was released by VMware Inc. in 19994. The year of 2009 is the 10th anniversary of this breakthrough. The x86 virtualization technology has gradually become more mature and stable since early 2000s5. Virtual machines were reportedly used for educational purposes in college computer labs as early as 20026,7,8. However, the technology has not been adopted broadly until recent years due to a few factors: 1) the early virtualization products were buggy and not very reliable; 2) the virtualization software packages were resource-demanding and costly. Therefore they were usually hosted on high-end machines in centralized on-campus computer labs.
