I am thinking it is going to be pretty common for people to be running HP SIM in a VM.

As James notes, an application like HP SIM needs a lot of resources. Use the HP SIM Sizer from <A href="http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim" target="_blank">http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim</A> --&gt; Technical Support to see the physical machine that your environment would need to be and take that into account along with the overheard of virtualization to make your decision.<BR /><BR /> Fri, 12 Jan 2007 14:57:07 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/can-i-install-the-sim-in-the-virtual-machine-of-esx/m-p/3709714#M17666 David Claypool 2007-01-12T14:57:07Z
