In either case, the server will be configured as an OESserver.4 If you selected any of the supported OES services, Novell Remote Manager (NRM) is alsoselected. Click the green check mark by NRM to change it to a red symbol and prevent NRMfrom being installed. NRM is not a supported OES service on a Xen VM host server.5 In the Primary Functions category, select Xen Virtual Machine Host Server.Because you want the host server optimized to manage your virtual machines, do not chooseany additional primary functions. Other services should be installed on an OES or SUSE LinuxEnterprise Server (SLES) 10 VM guest server or physical server.6 In the Primary Functions category, deselect Print Server by clicking the option twice.7 On the Configured LDAP Servers page, specify the tree name, admin name, and password forthe eDirectoryTM tree into which you are installing the host server.IMPORTANT: If you didn’t select any OES services, the Novell Open Enterprise ServerConfiguration page appears instead. In that case, the Configured LDAP Servers page isaccessible via the LDAP Configuration for Open Enterprise Services link.8 Click Add and specify the IP address of a server in the tree that has eDirectory installed on it,then click Next.9 On the Novell Open Enterprise Server Configuration page, click Next.
