You can install Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2 SP2 Linux as a Xen VM host server.
To understand why you might want your VM host server to have OES 2 SP2 installed, see
Install OES Services on Your VM
To install OES 2 SP2 on your VM host server, add the following steps to the basic installation
instructions found in "Setting Up a Virtual Machine Host" (http://www.novell.com/documentation/
sles10/book_virtualization_xen/data/cha_xen_virtualization_vhost_setup.html)
with Xen (http://www.novell.com/documentation/sles10/book_virtualization_xen/data/
book_virtualization_xen.html)
1 When you reach the Installation Mode page, select the Include Add-On Products from Separate
Media option and complete the instructions in
Installation Information," on page
2 When you reach the Installation Settings page, click the Software heading.
3 Of the services listed in the OES Services category, only the following are supported on a Xen
VM host server:
Novell Linux User Management (LUM)
Novell Storage Management Services
Novell Cluster Services
You can select any of these services that you want to be available on the host server, or you can
leave all of the services deselected. In either case, the server will be configured as an OES
server.
4 If you selected any of the supported OES services, Novell Remote Manager (NRM) is also
selected. Click the green check mark by NRM to change it to a red symbol and prevent NRM
from being installed. NRM is not a supported OES service on a Xen VM host server.
5 In the Primary Functions category, select Xen Virtual Machine Host Server.
Because you want the host server optimized to manage your virtual machines, do not choose
any additional primary functions. Other services should be installed on an OES or SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 VM guest server or physical server.
6 In the Primary Functions category, deselect Print Server by clicking the option twice.
7 On the Configured LDAP Servers page, specify the tree name, admin name, and password for
the eDirectory tree into which you are installing the host server.

IMPORTANT: If you didn't select any OES services, the Novell Open Enterprise Server
Configuration page appears instead. In that case, the Configured LDAP Servers page is
accessible via the LDAP Configuration for Open Enterprise Services link.

then click Next.
