Running AIX 7200 on your x86_64 computer with QEMU in 2024
This video will demonstrate how AIX works on an x86_64 computer through QEMU virtualization. Thanks to QEMU team.
In this case, the QEMU version is 8.2.6.
As you can see in the video, a couple of commands have been working well without the need for fixing, such as ps, crontab and cron.
I also tried QEMU 9.x for this case, but I can’t get it work, I don’t know why.
Of course, you can also run QEMU without another virtual option like Virtualbox or VMware. In my case, single-level virtualization did not improve the AIX performance. Therefore, I ended up with two levels of virtualization, one is QEMU and the other is Virtualbox.
If you’re interested in how to implement it from scratch, check the following link for more details.
Hope you enjoy it!
