SAINT VM Setup Instructions There are many ways to use our virtual machine. SAINT8 has been installed on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS. You can use VMware Player, VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, ESX server, or ESXi server. One way is to convert them on the fly into your existing VMware server environment using the Converter Standalone Client. VMware Free Downloads VMware Player: https://www.vmware.com/products/player VMware Converter Standalone Client: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/info/slug/infrastructure_operations_management/vmw are_vcenter_converter_standalone/6_0 VMware ESXi Server: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/info/slug/datacenter_cloud_infrastructure/vmware_vsp here_hypervisor_esxi/6_0 VMware Workstation Double click on the unzipped file SAINT8VM64.vmx and it will open in the Workstation software automatically. VMware Player Open VMware Player and choose Open a Virtual Machine. Browse to the unzipped SAINT8VM64.vmx file and open it. It will then be added to your VMware Player as SAINT87VM. VMware Fusion Unzip the downloaded files with your favorite zip utility for unzipping Windows zip files, the built in zip utility for Mac OSX will only compress it more and will not work. Launch Fusion on your MAC OSX and go to Home. Then, click Install Windows or another operating system in a new Virtual Machine. Click Continue without disk. On the next page, click on Use an existing virtual disk. You can then browse to the directory where you unzipped the downloaded file. Choose SAINT87VM64.vmdk and then click Continue. On the next page, click Customize Settings to change the memory to 2 GB as a minimum; you can go up to 3.5 GB RAM as it is a 32-bit Linux OS. Finally, click Finish. P a g e 1 Using the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Software Click on Convert Machine and browse to your unzipped file: Click the Next button P a g e 2 Specify your ESXi Server and enter the login information: Click Next and then Finish: P a g e 3 P a g e 4 .

The Hypervisor is the one which provides the complete virtualization environment which will intend to virtualize as much as hardware and systems which will include the CPUs, Memory, network interfaces and so on. Because of the virtualization technologies such as the KVM and others such as ESXi, there has been a significant decrease in the usage if the resources and decrease in the costs involved.

    MOS - VIRTUALIZATION Tobias Stumpf, Marcus H¨ahnel WS 2017/18 Goals Give you an overview about: • virtualization and virtual machines in general, • hardware virtualization on x86, • our research regarding virtualization. We will not discuss: • lots and lots of details, • language runtimes, • how to use XEN/KVM/. MOS - Virtualization slide 3 What is Virtualization? Outline What is Virtualization? Very Short History Virtualization on x86 Example: L4Linux Example: NOVA Example: Karma VMM MOS - Virtualization slide 4 What is Virtualization? Starting Point You want to write a new operating system that is • secure, • trustworthy, • small, • fast, • fancy. but . MOS - Virtualization slide 5 What is Virtualization? Commodity Applications Users expect to run all the software they are used to (\legacy"): • browsers, • Word, • iTunes, • certified business applications, • new (Windows/DirectX) and ancient (DOS) games. Porting or rewriting all is infeasible! MOS - Virtualization slide 6 What is Virtualization? One Solution: Virtualization \By virtualizing a commodity OS [...] we gain support for legacy applications, and devices we don't want to write drivers for." \All this allows the research community to finally escape the straitjacket of POSIX or Windows compatibility [...]" Roscoe:2007:HV:1361397.1361401 MOS - Virtualization slide 7 What is Virtualization?
