5.0 Configuring Novell Cluster Services in a Virtualization Environment

Novell® Cluster Services™ is installed and configured in a Xen-based 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 is required.

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).

For information about using virtualized NetWare guest servers as nodes in a NetWare cluster, see the deployment scenarios in Configuring Novell Cluster Services in a Xen Virtualization Environment in the OES 2 SP2: Novell Cluster Services 1.8.7 for Linux Administration Guide.

To get started with virtualization, see Introduction to Xen Virtualization in the Virtualization with Xen guide.

For information on setting up NetWare on a Xen-based virtual guest server, see Installing and Managing NetWare on a Xen-based VM in the OES 2 SP2: Installation Guide guide.
