Support Overview
A guest operating system is an operating system installed and run virtually on VMware. IS&T supports installation of Windows (XP and Vista) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux as guest operating systems on VMware Fusion and Workstation.
Athena guest operating systems are not yet recommended or supported by IS&T. There are several known issues in the areas of networking, licensing, authentication, and time synchronization. The IS&T Vmware project team is currently reviewing these issues and may offer Athena guest operating system support in the future if they are resolved.
Virtual machines not created by VMware (converted from other virtualization systems) are not supported or recommended by IS&T.
