Creating a VM
Also, in my tinkering around I was able to get SCO installed on a VM, using VM Workstation version 12.5 in a Windows 7 Pro-64 computer. I chose the VM Workstation 8.x compatibility model for my VM, an IDE hard drive at 0:0 and an IDE CD Rom at 1:0 using the physical drive of the computer. Using the defbootstr command at installation it went like a champ. I even installed the keyboard mouse and the graphic screen/mouse is working. The only problem I have is I can't find instructions about how to install the network card driver. I selected "bridge mode" when I created the VM, and SCO did not recognize my NIC at installation, it is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family NIC on the mother board. I believe it is compatible with 5.0.6a, and I think I found the driver, but I have no clue how to get it installed. My only option is from a CD (I think) and I don't know how to do that. The Software Manager does not recognize what I downloaded and burned to the CD as "software" and I am clueless - could you advise me? I can't find any instructions online. I would like to have this VM as a "backup" plan, I would not use it unless the physical server goes down again. Thanks again for all your help.

Run netconfig to add a new network card.
How the driver is installed depends upon the format of the device driver file.
If it is VOL.000.000 then it is installed through 'custom'. Otherwise it may have a setup or intall binary or script, or it may install using pkgadd.

gvid_no_claim_dev
gvid_no_claim_dev(5) File Formats Manual gvid_no_claim_dev(5)
NAME
gvid_no_claim_dev - PCI Vendor/Device ID that the gvid graphics driver will not claim
VALUES
Failsafe
Default
Allowed values
Recommended values
Specific to the device you wish to prevent from claiming.
DESCRIPTION
This tunable specifies the PCI Vendor ID and/or Device ID of a graphics device that the HP graphics driver should not claim.
The graphics driver was designed to be a general purpose driver for all PCI graphics cards. As a result, the driver will attempt to claim
any PCI graphics display device found on the system. This can be a problem for graphics device developers who need their own graphics
driver to claim their own graphics device.
The value of will specify a PCI Vendor ID and/or Device ID of a graphics card that the gvid graphics driver should not claim. It is a 32
bit number, with the upper 16 bits containing the PCI Vendor ID and the lower 16 bits containing the PCI Device ID. Either the Vendor ID
or Device ID can use a wildcard value of
For example, if is set to the value the driver will ignore graphics devices with a PCI Vendor ID of and a Device ID of If is set to the
driver will not claim any graphics cards with a Vendor ID of regardless of the Device ID.
Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
Anyone who wishes the graphics driver to ignore a specific graphics device. This will typically be someone writing their own graphics
driver for their own hardware.
Restrictions on Changing
Changes to this tunable take effect at the next reboot.
What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
None.
