A.2.1 Additional Xen Provisioning Adapter Information
The following characteristics were added to the Xen Provisioning Adapter, effective with the 2.0.2
release:
The VM Builder running on a SLES 11 VM host now supports three additional VM OS types:
openSUSE 11
SLED 11
SLES 11
These OS types are not available for build when you use the VM Builder running on a SLES 10
SP2 VM host. These OS types can only be built and provisioned to a SLES 11 VM host.
VMs that were supported on SLES 10 SP2 are supported on SLES11, that is, if the VM was
built on SLES 10 SP2, the provisioning adapter supported of that VM on SLES 10S P2 are also
possible when the VM runs on SLES11.
Although VM migration from a SLES 11 VM host to a SLES 10 SP2 VM host is not supported,
VM migration is supported in the following scenarios:
VM on a SLES 10 SP2 VM host migrating to a SLES 11 VM host
VM on a SLES 10 SP2 VM host migrating to a SLES 10 SP2 VM host
VM on a SLES 11 VM host migrating to a SLES 11 VM host
Virtual machines built on SLES 10 SP2 can be provisioned on either SLES 10 SP2 or SLES 11
VM hosts.
Virtual machines (regardless of OS type) built on SLES 11 cannot be provisioned on a SLES 10
SP2 VM host.
