I don't know about Novell, but in UNIX its common to have multiple instances on a single server. In the UNIX environment the environment variable ORACLE_SID or TWO_TASK determines the instance when connecting to oracle. There also has to be an init.ora file for each instance with db_name set appropriately. You only use OPS when you have multiple instances sharing the same database.
