Michel,
Just a note… an ‘old’ version of SCO Openserver isn’t going to run well on Proxmox…. You need to have paravirtualized HBA and NIc drivers in the OS to run well on Proxmox or any KVM-based hypervisor.

Xinuos (current owners of SCO Openserver product line) just released an updated installer for Openserver 6 UNIX and ‘KVM Platform License’ that includes support for ‘VirtIO SCSI single’ for the HBA and paravirtualized NiC drivers to support Proxmox and other KVM-based virtualization host platforms. Previous versions of Openserver 6 had clock timing issues when ran on Proxmox.

In the past couple of weeks, I've been able to successfully install "SCO Openserver 6 Definitive 2018" using their newest installer (OpenServer6D2M2-DVD.iso - available from xinuos.com) using their "Getting Started Guide" and SCO TA # 128147 <https://wdb1.sco.com/kb/showta?taid=128147>.

If you need assistance with XINUOS/SCO products… I’m part of a not-for-profit users group that was originally formed as the SCO user’s group… and is known as ‘iXorg, Inc’ (www.ixorg.org). In our upcoming conference (“TestFest”) in November, as long as Orlando didn't get washed away, we will be loading and configuring a Proxmox cluster for running Openserver 6 Unix VM’s as a replacement for VMWare ESXi. We have a couple members that work for Xinuos.

Doug Ritchie, treasurer - IXorg,Inc.


P.S. - If you are referring to "SCO Openserver 5.0.7 or older", these versions of Unix have no plans to be updated for use on Proxmox/KVM.

I've installed Proxmox VE 8.1 to give a trial

The VM can see the NIC but can't reach outside world
Proxmox VE can see the nic and can communicate with the outside world

Look a lot o sites to get a solution but none are working
Can somebody can gide me to a solution?
