Virtualization in OES 2
In Open Enterprise Server 2, you can host multiple OES 2 and NetWare servers on Xen virtual
machines (VMs) on a single Xen host server.
For information about installing and running OES 2 services on Xen-based virtual machines, see the
links on the
Virtualization page of the OES 2 Online Documentation .
