Novell® Cluster Services™ is installed and configured in a virtualized environment (on guest servers) by using the same methods and processes as those used on a physical server. No additional changes or special configuration is 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-based virtualization environments.
Although many different cluster virtualization scenarios are possible, only those outlined in the sections below have been tested:
