Hi,

we have MVS2005 on some of our DL580 Servers. They work really good. The virtual Servers use the teamingadapter of the hostmachine.

can you ping between virtual servers on the same host? i can't, and microsoft says they don't support it.

I have an older installation of VS 2005 with 4 VMs on it and have no problems pinging between machines. This particular instance doesn't use the teaming software but since the VM host is presented a "Virtual NIC" (consisting of 2+ physical NICs)by the teaming software I see no reason why ping wouldn't work. Check your VM configurations and make sure that the assigned NIC is the Virtual NIC presented by the teaming SW and not a physical adapter, that might be confusing the VMs.
