Config Notes
- Install: PXE Boot, OS Installed via Network.
- VM Driver Pack: All FV guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLE10SP4 drivers are included with SLE10SP4. The Windows 2008 drivers are available from http://download.novell.com (VMDP-WIN-1.7_00.exe).
- XEN Guests: VM Guests were configured with 1 GB of memory each leaving more memory for the Xen host. In this configuration, if the guests are configured with more memory there is a possibility that network communication could be disrupted during times of heavy system load.
- Hard Disk Configuration: RAID 5.
