We first started off with a Version of SCO about 20 years ago and had to migrate over to UnixWare 7.1. We run a ERP system on this server called FACTS. When we upgraded to the newest version of FACTS, we had to go to UnixWare from SCO. Anyway, in order for FACTS to play right and achieve the functionality that we wanted, we hired a programmer to modify SCO/FACTS to work right. When we upgraded to UNIXWare 7.1, the same thing happened. This programmer who now owns FACTS, did all out programming needs since we do not have the expertise or the money now. If I do a fresh installation in a VM, I am going to reload Sco and FACTS. Call teh programmer, pay him some crazy amount to reduplicate what he already has done. Then upgrade to Unixware 7.1, upgrade FACTs and do it all over again and pay this guy tons of money that has already been spent.

Only one person uses this server now. We are not dependant on it except for some old account information that our credit departments needs once every 2 months.

In regards to the RAID 5, I was hoping someone would be able to help me on this. I am sure what will happen in UNIX. Can we Ghost this Raid 5 and restore it to a single drive then I ghost it from there and convert it to a VM? I am not sure. That is why I am here asking questions.
