Matt,
Sounds like a loaded question without enough informationÂ…
Split SQL and Apps servers?
Both on VM?
Accessing a SAN or local storage?
Multiple VM hosts?
Is VM in a HA and DRS setting?
Are the vm guests allowed to v-motion freely?
How is the network configured on the VM?
Are you using best vm-NIC setting?
In general, we have been on ESX and vSphere for 5 years and performance has been very good, but, you do need to setup your environment correctly to optimize all and you get new tools that can backfireÂ…

Does anyone out there have any tips or tricks, or know of any gotchas with VMware? We have tried all kinds of things, but still have various issues. It seems daily that we have issues printing packing slips. Occasionally, we will get the "no servers available" message. Looking at the CPU, disk , and network usage shows that the virtual server and host aren't even breaking a sweat. When we were on Hyper-V, we never had these issues. We have a 50-user license, and 11 handheld units. Our mfgsys803 appserver is set to start with 15, and has 25 max. IWe setup a new appserver for printing. We use service connect, and have a sql connect to the db throughout the day. Virtual server is setup with 4 CPU's, and 8 GB of ram. Plenty of free disk space. BI file is small, as I check the size of it each week. I truncated it, and reindexed the db a week ago with no errors.
