call me crazy or old-school, but it always seemed wrong to me.
IMHO this is depends on the robustness of your virtualization solution.
We're moving onto a large scale VMWare cluster with EMC and HP/3Par
storage backends. I'm not at all worried about the xymon server
(currently running on a G4 which is one of the smallest and oldest
boxes in the shop)
We avoid putting the xymon server on a VM just for the reason that if/when
VMWare/ESX goes belly up we want to be able to watch as thing come back. We
are going to upgrade to 4.3.7 on a VM, but will probably be moving it to a
physical server before it actually goes into production.
