4.2 SLE Virtual Machines on Host Architectures

SUSE Linux operating systems supported as guest operating systems, such as SUSE Linux 10 SP1 or later and SUSE Linux 9 SP3 or later, can be installed as guests on a host that is running any of the following combinations of domain 0 and hypervisor architecture.
