First of all, have a short look at the guide I referred above.

After completing installation of SAP on openSUSE VirtualBox, you will want to logon and connect to the recently installed SAP system.

In this case, if you have not installed yet you require to install local SAP GUI on your host machine, on your development computer, not on the VirtualBox openSUSE OS.

They can download the latest released version of Oracle VirtualBox from VirtualBox software download portal for your operating system.

After download completed, you can immediately start to install VirtualBox.

If your computers BIOS settings are not configured for Virtualization Technology, you will not be able to list 64-bit Linux operating systems including 64-bit openSUSE during creating of a new virtual PC.

If you have the same situation, do not continue with a 32-bit solution.

You can get following installation error: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERRVMXMSRALLVMXDISABLED).

Maybe you might want to check it earlier or when you face it (of course if these options are not set) during Virtual PC creation step.
