Novell® Cluster Services™ is installed and configured in a virtualization environment (on guest servers) by using the same methods and processes as those used on a physical server. No additional changes or special configuration are required.
You can install Novell Cluster Services on the virtualization host server and create cluster resources that contain the virtual machines. You can fail over or migrate virtual machine cluster resources (entire virtual machines) to different physical nodes in your cluster. Resource templates are provided for Xen* virtualization environments.
IMPORTANT:All templates except Xen and XenLive are valid in guest servers (DomU) in the virtualization environment. Only the Xen and XenLive templates can be used in the OES 2 Linux (Xen) host environment (that is, in Dom0, but not in DomU).
Although many different cluster virtualization scenarios are possible, only those outlined in the sections below have been tested:
