Full Discussion: AIX on VMWARE
Operating Systems AIX AIX on VMWARE Post 302484343 by linuxlearner17 on Thursday 30th of December 2010 03:54:51 PM

Hi "mlaiti"

Unfortunately what you are attempting to do won't work. There is no VM or even VM image for AIX because IBM has designed it so it only runs on it's own power processors (not Intel x86 or 64)...you're out of luck when it comes to AIX.

With RHEL - you'll find you will be able to virtualize and run a nice VM much easier as RHEL is supported on x86 and 64 bit computing platforms.

My only suggestion to you would be ebay and buy yourself a machine (if you have the $$$$) with a power processor. That's the only architecture that runs AIX.

Hope this helps!

NAME

       vmware-xferlogs - dump vm-support output to vmx logfile

SYNOPSIS

       vmware-xferlogs OPTIONS FILE

DESCRIPTION

       vmware-xferlogs is a simple console application and can be run as any user. It is based on rpctool to dump the vm-support output to the vmx
       log file base64 encoded. It can dump any file supplied on the commandline to the vmx log. It also does the decoding part of it. It can read
       the vmware.log file decode and write the encoded files in the directory it was invoked.

       Example of a transfer found in the vmx log file:
