VMware Novell OES2 Compatibility

I have been using the VMware's online compatibility guide every couple  of weeks to determine when OES2 SP3 is officially supported.  I tried it  today and now it says OES is only supported under the VMware Workstation product.  There is no version of ESX available now for Novell Open Enterprise Server.

Did VMware support get pulled for OES or is this some type of glitch?

Thanks

Jamie

It certainly looks like there is only support for OES2 on Workstation according to the compatibility guide.  Was there support for it under ESX previously?

On our ESX 4.1 environment, I can still select 'Open Enterprise Server' as a valid OS when deploying a new VM.

Yes, It was supported under the various updated versions of ESX 3.5.  It was also supported under the 4.x versions.  The weird thing is that Novell SLES is supported.  OES is actually SLES running some services that were ported over from Novell's NetWare OS.  So I wonder if VMware has made some sort of mistake with their compatibility tool.  I may have to phone their technical support to get some clarification.
