For example, these operating systems might be running in VMware or on a physical machine.
The operating system must have a hypervisor supported by PlateSpin Orchestrate. The following
table lists the supported hypervisors and host operating systems. For a listing of currently supported
guest operating systems, refer to the host operating system vendor’s Web site.
Table 2-2
Hypervisors and Supported Host Operating Systems
With the hypervisor installed on one of the supported operating systems, the Orchestrate Server
deploys the VMs to the host machine using the hypervisor-associated provisioning adapter to start
and use the VMs for jobs. The provisioning adapters allow you to control and migrate the VM. For a
detailed explanation of the actions you can perform with a VM through its provisioning adapter, see
“
Managing Virtual Machines ” in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 VM Client Guide and Reference .
