Newbie question on using Virtual Server

Source: microsoft.public.virtualserver

Hi, all,

I have a desktop, a Gateway Quad-Core machine with 6 GB of memory, and
it came with Vista 64-bit installed.

I do a ton of work with Visual Studio, SQL Server, BI stuff, etc.

I want to install MOSS and PerformancePoint Server, except that both of
those require Win Server 2003 or 2008.

I tried installing Win Server 2008 on my desktop, but on this particular
desktop I ran into all sorts of driver issues, so I restored the
original OS (Vista) back on.

What I'd like to do is this:

- run SQL Server on my host operating system (Vista)
- run Virtual Server with MOSS and PerformancePoint Server installed
- Have MOSS and PPS (on the virtual server) be able to "see" the
databases back on the host operating system.

I'm not sure if that can be done (or if it even makes sense). This is
not a production environment, it's basically on a stand-alone desktop
for development and testing and presentation purposes.

I'm trying to get both the host and guest operating systems to use as
much resources from the desktop as possible.

Any suggestions?
Thanks...

This more or less exactly what Virtual Server (and Virual PC) are made
for! :-)

I do this routinely, except I am using workstation type virtual
machines so I use then om VirtualPC2007 rather than Virtual Server
2005.
Basically a server type guest lives best in Virtual Server and a
workstation type guest in VirtualPC. Both can be used simultaneously.

In fact on my XP-Pro PC I have right now one Win2003 server machine
running for RRAS VPN services and some other server tasks and my s/w
development system is running in an XP-Pro guest under VMWare
Workstation 6.5 and I can also fire up VPC2007 and start another guest
for testing.)

Connectivity between guests and host depends on how you set up the
virtual network, if using the default values you get another PC on
your host network. :-)
