Propose changes to software and hardware platform for OPS235 (to be confirmed):
Option 1
Software: Windows Host + VMWare
- Boot from Seneca Standard Lab Image
- Install CentOS 7.x on three or more VMWare hosted VMs
- Backup VMs to USB flash drive and/or SSD harddisk
Hardware: HP Z230 workstation
- No change to the lab workstation
- Remove IDEX switch and the removable drive bay
- Do not need dual boot: boot from the Windows lab image on the internal hard disk
Option 2
Software: CentOS Host + KVM
- Boot from external SSD in 2.5" USB 3.0 External HDD enclosure with CentOS 7.x installed
- Install KVM as hypervisor
- Install CentOS 7.x on three 0r more KVM virtual machines
Hardware: HP Z230 Workstation
- Have to make sure that booting from external HDD/SSD via USB port is enable
- Need IDEX switch if option to boot from the Windows lab image on the internal hard disk.
- Do not need the IDEX switch if the workstation has no internal disk
