Fire alarms just went off. Was outside for about 40 minutes but still don't know why.
Because the fire alarms went off.
I wish we had no experience with this at MangoCon.

I have a vendor who will only use a Linux SCO image INSIDE of Cent OS 5 with ESX running. Is it possible to put CentOS 5 into hyper-V and then within that VM do all of the other stuff to essentially MAKE an SCO image compatible with something like Hyper-V?

They put SCO Linux running on what hypervisor, on top of CentOS 5, on top of ESX? That's three ancient systems. None of those are new enough to consider. As bad as it is, having a triple nested system is so bad... it would be something like this...
Application | SCO Linux | VirtualBox | CentOS 5 | ESX 3 | Hyper-V 2016
That's three hypervisors and two operating systems all to run one application.

The vendor essentially told me he doesn't know what hes doing. Our site was the "first time he's done this". The problem is the city will not move to another piece of software. They will not pay for it. It's so insanely old. We wanted to replicate it in Hyper-V but none of this is compatible.

And I was being sarcastic, if it was lost in the translation, lol.

This is the kind of stuff that drives me nuts in IT. You can't force people to make the right choice.

Nor is it your concern. It should not drive you crazy. Your role is to recommend the best option for the mission statement. Their job is to determine if they agree. That's it. Your concern should end at the recommendation. The moment you care beyond that, you are no longer acting in the IT capacity but as a proxy investor.

It's hard for me to do my job well but also not care. Seems contradictory.

It's not. It only seems that way because you are confusing "caring about your job" with "caring about your projected values on the owners". The two are unrelated. Your job ends at following instructions. Caring about your job means only doing what you are told to do. Caring about something else very likely will conflict to some degree with that.
