for Linux and at the same time are part of an SAP certified Linux distribution. For these setups, it
is not required to install any driver in addition to those that come with the Linux distribution. Logical
Volume Management (LVM), network bonding and multipathing are supported via the software
that comes with the Linux distribution.
Virtualization software version compatibility
Virtualization is supported for various combinations of physical machines and VMWare Virtual
Machines. Guest OS can be SLES or RHEL. This feature supports RDM configurations. Virtualization
is supported for various combinations of physical machines with virtualized guest machines (VMs)
built on the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor provided with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
6. This feature is supported only with iSCSI storage device.
NOTE: Serviceguard is certified on VMs, not on the hosts that run the hypervisor technology. It
provides high availability for applications inside of virtual machines and not for the virtual machines
themselves.

for Linux with VMware virtual machines.
