I haven't, but I'm not sure if somebody on the server team did or not. I'll see. Thanks.

Mod parent up. Development is already in progress for the replacement systems, but that likely won't be complete for a year or more. This is a stopgap measure.

The system *is* being retired. But it will likely take a year or more to move its functionality to newer systems. The point of virtualizing is to avoid a hardware failure during that time.
We can't simply flip a switch and go live with a new system.

The business functionality is already being ported to new systems. But that isn't a trivial undertaking, and the projects involved probably won't be complete for a year or more. The point of virtualizing is to avoid a critical hardware failure in the mean time. It isn't meant to be a permanent solution.

There are already projects underway to roll the functionality of this system into other, newer systems. However, those likely won't be complete for a year or more. In the mean time, the idea is to virtualize to avoid a critical hardware failure.

It runs the middleware for a VB4 (I think) front end and Oracle 7.2 back end. Work is already underway to retire the system, but that probably won't happen for another year. The goal of virtualizing is avoiding a critical hardware failure during that time.

Projects are already in the works to retire the system in question. But those likely won't be complete for at least a year. The goal is to virtualize for now to avoid a crippling hardware failure in that time.

OP here. Thanks, but I believe (I'm a /. proxy in all of this) we need 2.1.2.
Also, in case you might be wondering, the goal *is* to completely retire this system (sooner than later), but it has basically been ignored for years. Moving the functionality to other systems will take a while (I'm working on one related project, and we're probably looking to at least the middle of next year), and we want to virtualize for now in case Something Bad Happens.

Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Availability of Legacy UnixWare Installation Media?
lukpac writes: We have an old (ancient) Unisys server in production that hosts a legacy system and are attempting to virtualize it. Unfortunately we don't have a generic UnixWare (2.1.2) installation CD, just a Unisys specific one, and given the recent unpleasantness (see Groklaw for details), SCO isn’t much of an option. We’re not looking at pirating it (as above, we do still have the Unisys specific media), but do need a generic copy of UnixWare. What options, if any, are available?

Speaking of which Verizon's network is not GSM. So are these iPhones dual-network or what?
Yes:
CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25)

They just don't work on all LTE bands.

Ok, I did miss this:
The CDMA phone, however, is more of a global device. It supports the same three LTE bands as the non-U.S. GSM phone, as well as the two main bands used by U.S. carriers Verizon and Sprint. Another benefit to the CDMA phone is that it supports GSM/EDGE radio frequencies, while the GSM phones do not support CDMA frequencies. Unfortunately, that GSM support is limited to international use for stateside customers. What is oddly missing from all three phones is LTE support for a large portion of Western Europe, which uses LTE Band 7.

And:
CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25)

I actually looked into that the other day but I guess I missed that portion. Sorry for adding to the confusion...
