Districts in Maharashtra have downloaded Virtual Machines and using it
smoothly and saved Server Hardware cost per location with optimal use
of hardware software resources with minimal technical efforts and
exercises. I want to share my practical experience of scientific analysis
and findings as below which hoped to be useful for proper technical
Usage and E-Gov implementation.
Virtual Machine:
The original meaning of Virtual Machine, sometime called
hardware Virtual Machine is that number of discrete identical
execution of environments (instances) on a single computer, each of
which runs an Operating System(OS). Basic use of Virtual Machine is
running multiple Operating Systems at a time Simultaneously on single
computer System.
Virtual Machine Logically divide the single Computer System
and resources into several isolated different sizes same like the
slices of the bread each of which works and feels as a separate

System and simultaneously run different isolated processes.
More than one instance of that operating system run on the same

that run within a VM cannot interfere with the host OS or
other VMs
Therefore its one use is for the isolation of processes
with specific resources so that the processes should not
collide and affect each other.

Machine, isolated from each other so that the execution of each
other does not affects to one another. Practically I
used it like

as a background service. Under such situation we can install the
client and server on single system and process the work and this
way save the cost of the server hardware per every location.

client and server on the single computer system using. We can
mount the drives and disks between the Virtual Machines and
share data and resources. This way it is quite useful for Testing
and R & D Purposes.
6. VMs can also be easily moved, copied, and reassigned between
host servers to optimize hardware resource utilization. Also
We can change the shared Hardware configuration settings

requirements.
Virtual Machine HDD file is just like a image of Operating System/
Partition including all the software and setting installed on that
Operating System / Partition. Its just like a mirror Image/ Ghost /
Clone of the operating System/ Partition.
Therefore by just copy paste and using, we need not have to install
the OS, Application Softwares and do exercising of setting
configuring the softwares and applications with each other. This
is very useful in the case of complicated sophisticated softwares. It
save the efforts of setting and configuring.
In order to optimize and effective use of the Hardware/Software
Resources and technical efforts and exercises to achieve the
goal in targeted time, I configured Virtual Machine of Red Had
Linux Server and Windows Client on the same computer system

target within less time with optimal use of the Hardware /
software and resources.
Virtual Machine are very much useful when a typical Complex
application which require various supporting front end and
backend software compatible with each other with sophisticated
setting and configurations with Database and network connections,
is to be used at Discrete Distinct locations with various types of
hardware software. Under such situation such application can be
released in the form of Virtual Machine containing Operating
System with Application software working along with all the
necessary supporting software and setting, by which the users at
Discrete Distinct locations gets the directly operational Application
software along with the Operating System and all supporting
softwares with ready configured setting, Data base and network
connections. This way the complex sophisticated technical efforts /
exercises per discrete Distinct location can be saved by using
Virtual Machine with optimal use of the Hardware / software and
resources. This reduces the exercise of training to the user on
sophisticated technologies and we can get the task completed
easily through the less technical human resources.

the Agri Census Data utility operational and even after that very
few succeeded with full of non uniformity. Instead if the same
working operational Agri Census Application with the Data
Conversion utility may have been released though ftp server in the
form of Virtual Machine along with all the supporting software and
settings configured, then it may have definitely saved the time and
technical efforts and exercise of the District Unit Officials of 35
District, and the specified task may have been achieved within very
less time with minimal technical efforts by just replicating the

The
same
technique I have used for the same purpose in Akola. I have made
the application operational on one Computer System in the form of
Virtual Machine and then replicated it on the computer Systems of
all the Tahsils.

In case of Land Record 7/12 Data uploading on District Website,
the 7/12 Data conversion and uploading utility requires the
Computer System with 4GB of RAM. And having Operating System
Windows XP / Windows 7. I am not having any such computer
System with 4 GB of RAM on any Windows XP / Windows 7 Client
Computer System. But having Dell PowerEdge R715 Rack
Mounting Server with 32GB of RAM with Windows Server 2008
Operating System. I have installed two separate Virtual Machines,
of Windows XP and Red Hat Linux 7.2
with all the necessary supporting softwares and made the 7/12
Data Conversion utility operational on Dell Rack Mounting server
and uploaded 7/12 Data on District Website by configuring client
and server running simultaneously at a time on the same
computer system
It is found that while installing Red Hat Linux 7.2 on the Latest

2. Saved Server Hardware per LRC location : Developed readily
distributable Virtual Machine and replicated to number of SLR,
TILR, SDO and Tahsildar Offices in Akola District and in around
15 Districts in the state by configuring secured ftp server of NIC,
Akola. This way saved server hardware per location and
optimized technical exercise for easy testing, backup and Disaster
recovery of complete operating System including application
softwares, data, Network and Database connections. In order to
save server Hardware, its needed to deploy VMs of Client, Server
on various locations at District HQ and Tahsils in Land Records
SLR, TILR, SDO and Tahsildar Offices. This is resolved by
developing uniform readily distributable VMs of Windows client
and RH Linux 7.2 server for 7/12 and property card, and by coping
it, multiples required clients and servers created to complete entry
of 7/12 and Property card in less time at LRC locations at District
HQ and Tahsil.
3. Completion of work in optimum time :Entry, updating and
validation and processing of the 7/12 and Property card completed
in quick time by creating large number of client and servers just by
replicating readily Distributable Virtual Machines of Red Hat Linux
Server and Windows Client.
4. Backup and Disaster Recovery: Used Virtual Machines of Red
Hat Linux Server and Windows Client for the Backup and Recovery
of Whole Operating System including Data, Application Softwars

readily distributable VMs of RH Linux 7.2 and Windows XP client
and used independent to Hardware on various old, new Systems
and Laptops for LRC locations in Akola and used by other 15
Districts through NIC Akolas ftp server.
In the present age New hardware is not supported by the Red
Hat Linux 7.2 and therefore it is nearly found impossible to install
the Red Hat Linux Server for Land Record Computerization 7/12
as well as for property card on the present new computer systems.
Therefore the users are compelled to use only the old outdated
