Yes, at least two abends are documented that are caused by Nessus scans. Check that your Novell servers have been patched:

Hello everybody,
I was doing a vulnerability assessment on a production using Nessus(Only non-dangerous plugins were enabled) and some of the Novell file servers went down. I was forced to stop the test.
Have anyone experienced the Novell problem with Nessus? What can do to stop crashing these servers?
Thanks in advance
John
