Dynamic Storage Technology (DST) for Novell® Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2 Linux works similarly on a native hardware environment as on a virtual machine, with the following caveats:
DST supports up to 16 shadow volumes and up to 16 ShadowFS volumes in a virtualized guest server environment.
DST is not supported for use in the virtualization host server environment.
Xen* limits for the number of devices assigned to a virtual machine:
Para-virtualized: 16 devices
Fully virtualized: 4 devices
To get started with virtualization, see Introduction to Xen Virtualization
in the Virtualization with Xen guide.
For information on setting up virtualized OES 2 Linux, see Installing, Upgrading, or Updating OES on a Xen-based VM
in the OES 2 SP2: Installation Guide guide.
