Someone asking me. I looked. Not much out there except a straight PDF on performance tuning of ESX.

Anybody using this combination. Any pitfalls, suggestions for tuning the VMWare image for MQ and Message Broker?

Hi bobbee,
We have our Configuration Managers on VMWare sessions. A server hosting a CM and nothing else is a lightweight server and a good candidate for VMWare.

I would not put anything other than a Sandbox Broker on a VMWare session. A broker dealing with any kind of real work is going to be a memory and CPU pig, and that is not what VMWare is for. Now if your VMWare Admins are willing to give your Broker session tons of memory and multiple CPUs and there are hardly any other sessions on the ESX host to compete, I suppose it would work OK. But then that's not a typical VMWare scenario.

We have not tried running Brokers on VMWare session. Based on the above line of thinking I don't even want to try.
