summary: "Will OpenShift Virtualisation run Acme virtual machines?"
---

As a sales team you've got an upcoming demo with the Acme Financial Services linux team. They are concerned a modern cloud native virtualisation platform like OpenShift Virtualistion won't support running their **Crusty Corp Financial Appliance™** vm appliances which run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 and cannot be updated or altered in any way 🤯.

The deal rests on your teams ability to prove that an old operating system will boot successfully within OpenShift Virtualisation.


## 2.1 - Create the virtual machine

...

## 2.2 - Boot the virtual machine

...

## 2.3 - Check your work

If your **Crusty Corp Financial Appliance** has booted please post a message in `#rh-hackathon-ocp-virt` with the message:

> Please review team [name] solution for exercise 2.
