Modified eDirectory links to point to the NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 website.

Updates were made to the following sections. The changes are explained below.

A.2.1 Implementing Novell Cluster Services in an ESXi Virtualized Environment

Location	Change
Section 3.6, Setting Up a Time Server for a Virtual Machine	This section is new.
Section 3.8, Creating a Virtual Machine	iSCSI controller NOTE:VMware Paravirtual SCSI controllers cannot be used in clustering environments because they use caches to achieve better throughput. NIC types You can specify whatever NIC type you need based on your hardware, network needs, and other considerations for your environment. For example, E1000 and VMXNET3 NIC types have drivers in the Linux kernel and do not require VMware Tools to be installed in order to run. This allows these NICs to be available during the operating system installation.
