Well both really. For starters my Hypervisors are SLES10SP3 but won''t
virtualize SLES10SP3 in HVM mode. I get I/O problems and hence kernel panics.
No problems with SLES10SP2.

And as far as OES2 is concerned: this is a different animal though than
SLES10, esepecially since I also us Novell Clustering Services, requiring
special kernel modules etc. The afore mentionned problems could inspire me to
go the PVM road (which would benefit performance as well of course), but not
sure if everything will keep on working (I''m looking to P2V an existing
OES2
cluster).

thx,
