This section addresses how the SLX-OS
accesses the Third-Party Virtual Machine (TPVM).
Extreme SLX-OS devices support the provisioning of a Guest OS, referred to as TPVM or the
Third-Party Virtual Machine. Currently only one instance of the TPVM and one image for the
TPVM is provided. The Extreme SLX-OS will run the TVPM in the following modes; VM Mode on the
SLX 9540, and Baremetal on the SLX 9640, SLX 9150, and SLX 9250. The figure below describes
the two modes and how mulitple OS‘s are stacked, followed by a table for platform support
details.
