Before creating an OES 2 Linux virtual machine, you need the following:
If you want to use AutoYaST to specify the Installation settings, create an AutoYaST profile (control) file and download it to a directory on the host machine server or make it available on the network.
A static IP address for each virtual server that you want to create.
A network installation source for OES 2 Linux software including the SLES 10 SP1 media and the OES 2 Linux add-on CD. For procedures to create the installation sources, see “Setting Up the Server Holding the Installation Sources” in the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Installation and Administration Guide
When creating the installation source, you need the media listed in the following tables. For the SLES media, you can use the ISOs for the CDs or the DVD.
