Sentinel Rapid Deployment has been extensively tested on VMWare ESX Server and Novell fully supports Sentinel Rapid Deployment in this environment. To achieve comparable performance results to the physical-machine testing results on ESX or in any other virtual environment, the virtual environment should provide the same memory, CPUs, diskspace, and I/O as the physical machine recommendations.
For information on physical machine recommendations for a SLES system, see Section 2.2, Hardware Requirements
