Xymon server on vmWare?
list John Thurston
For the past 20 years, we've run our Xymon/Hobbit/Big Brother server on a host independent of the majority of our infrastructure. I'm now considering installing at least one of our servers (probably with CentOS) on vmWare ESX.
Has anyone experienced difficulty with this?
I'm currently wondering about the interaction of xymonnet with the virtual NIC.

We run our Xymon server as a VM, and have for many years with no problems. It has the added bonus of doing Snapshots and full Vm backups when updates or changes need done. Thanks, Kris Springer

I have seen packet drops towards the Xymon server when the Vmware host has been overloaded. The solution was to ensure that the Xymon server gets enough priority. Mark Sent by from my Android device.

CentOS 7 on ESXi for many years, I would guess 4+. I believe the CentOS 6 was also virtual but that's too far back to recall. Josh Luthman Office: XXX-XXX-XXXX Direct: XXX-XXX-XXXX XXXX Wayne St Suite XXXX Troy, OH XXXXX
