Re: Re Laptop for Lots of VMs

  >>Coming back to my original question, does anyone run lot of VMs on
 MacBook pro? Does it perform well enough?

   Yes, I do. I have 8GB Macbook Pro with 2 RAC clusters. One is Linux
cluster and another is Solaris x86 clusters. Each 2 node cluster, and I use
iSCSI, which is a third smaller VM. I have not started all 6 VMs
concurrently but With three VMs running, I don't see much performance
issues. I am in the process of adding third node to these clusters at this
point.

   Only issue I see is that before you alter MAC to sleep mode, you need to
suspend VMs in a specific order (RAC VMs and then iSCSI VM). Otherwise, MAC
doesn't come back from sleep mode properly. I didn't really troubleshoot,
just observed it..
