Can any give me some feed back on running Epicor 905 on VMware

We are running VM 4.1 and currently in development we have 9.05.601a installed. We have been working with epicor to get the VM environment working. There have been performance issues since the install but we are getting closer getting them resolved. There are a number of things that you can do to increase performace in the VM system that will help address performance issues (bios, drivers, formats...) we are working on a document that will detail out what these are. We will posted them once we have finished with our testing and feel confident that the system is stable and production worthy.
Thanks
Jeff

Thanks!
I don't know if they recommend Virtualization, but they do support it now.

We've been running in vmware esx for about 2 years now. The performance hit
was pretty minor when we initially switched.We're pretty happy with it.

I would recommend that you make sure you have plenty of IO. Epicor needs a
lot either way, but if you're going virtual and running multiple VMs per box
you can chew up a ton of IO really fast.

Did you have any particular concerns?
