Re: Running Snow Leopard Server

[Al Poulin]

Bruce,

Thank you for your direct answer to my question, plus for the additional info.

I’ll try working the Virtual Box route.

 Hello,
 
 
 A couple questions.
 
 
 I have an iMac (24-inch, Early 2009) which runs Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 
 on one partition and El Capitan OS X 10. 11.6 on another partition.
 
 
 I have a shrink-wrapped Mac OS X Server V10.6.3  Rev 1.
 
 
 Can I install the Snow Leopard server on the El Capitan partition so that 
 I can launch and use my legacy version FileMaker Pro 8.0v3? This FMP will 
 not launch in El Capitan.

Re: Running Snow Leopard Server

[Bruce Johnson]

Not as far as I know. Apple specifically allowed virtualization of SL Server, 
provided it was running on an OS X host, so all three VM programs will prevent 
you from installing the client SL.

That said, the major differences between Server and Client were the additional 
GUI server tools for  managing the various services and the removal of the 
simultaneous AFS connection limit in client.

Aside from not being able to provide more than 10 simultaneous AFS file service 
connections, client can run any server service that Server can, you just have 
to use traditional Unix command-line tools to manage and configure them.

This 

 
lists the underlying services, in the ‘Technial Specs’ section of what OSS 
tools are used for services in OS X Server.

Re: Running Snow Leopard Server

[Al Poulin]

Thank you Bruce,

And could I install the client SL to run my legacy FMP instead of using the SL 
server?

Thanks
