Setting Up a Virtual Machine
Host
This section documents how to set up and use SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP1
as a virtual machine host.
In most cases, the hardware requirements for the Domain0 are the same as those for
the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop operating system, but additional CPU, disk,
memory, and network resources should be added to accommodate the resource demands
of all planned VM Guest systems.
TIP
Remember that VM Guest systems, just like physical machines, perform better
when they run on faster processors and have access to more system memory.
The following table lists the minimum hardware requirements for running a typical
virtualized environment. Additional requirements have to be added for the number and
type of the respective guest systems.
