Xen Virtualization Environments
Xen virtualization software is included with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Novell Cluster Services
supports using Xen virtual machine (VM) guest servers as nodes in a cluster. You can install Novell
Cluster Services on the guest server just as you would a physical server. All templates except the
Xen and XenLive templates can be used on a VM guest server. For examples, see
"Configuring Novell Cluster Services in a Xen Virtualization Environment," on page
Novell Cluster Services is supported to run on a Xen host server where it can be used to cluster the
virtual machine configuration files on Linux POSIX file systems. Only the Xen and XenLive
templates are supported for use in the XEN host environment. For information about setting up Xen
and XenLive cluster resources, see
