I have had the issue on a 2 x 1.0Ghz PII x330 and our 4 x 1.4 Xeon x440
We have the issue if only a single metaframe VM is running on the =
system.
Basically by the time we get to about 10 connected users, performance
suffers and the CPU is at %100 all the time. From the Vmware MUI it =
appears
that the VM is maxing out a single processor on a multiprocessor =
chassis.
A standard suite of productivity apps is on the server, such as Office =
XP,
Notes 4.6, Maximizer Enterprise.

I'd be interested in the specific hardware (and APPS.) you're using =
because
VMware ESX seems to behave so differently on varying hardware. In any
event, we're working with a group that has managed to get an IBM x440
eServer 8-way to handle about 25 slices of W2KAS (18 of them being =
MetaXP).
They've seen decent utilization with varying percentages of processor
allocation but averaging about 45 users per slice. We're investigating =
the
performance ourselves with oracle based applications (PeopleSoft etc..), =
but
haven't quite managed to get our hands on the IBM beast with the 64MB of =
L4
cache!!! (I don't get any kickbacks from BigBlue)

Hi there all,
Anyone running Metaframe Xpe under Vmware ESX 1.52? Care to comment on =
=3D
your performance?
I have an issue where our Win2k sp3/MF Xpe FR2 virtual machine will only =
=3D
get about half the users per processor compared to running 'on the =
iron'. =3D
Even with 1-2 users on the system, CPU use is still very high (50-70%)
I have done all the tuning described in the Vmware knowledge base and
applied the post FR2 hotfix for Vmware.
Thanks
