Virtualization:

Running virtualized is an unknown field, though I thnk there were some references to ESXi in the boot env?

QEMU should be able to emulate the WHOLE platform.
There are documented emulators for IPMI, UEFI and PCIe Switch. You would need to seed the correct information for them all. There's probably NVDIMM-N emulation but the NVDIMM is an optional component. You can launch Zebi on Hyper-V or Virtualbox (dont remember which) with some effort, but it won't complete boot.

Advice:

  • Don't go down this road if you don't have a few weeks to investigate.
  • The door to putting this under OpenQA control is clearly visible
  • Don't go down that road if you don't have a few months to investigate.

Virtual Load generators

There was a Hyper-V (Tegile-IO-HyperV-1.3.zip) and a VMware load (Tegile-POC_2_1.ova) generator. It dates back to 2017, capabilities unknown. (You get an impression how understaffed they must've kept their professional services considering they never managed to align those two names)
