I migrated the Listserv installation with LSMTP to an ESX environment without any problems. I had to strip out a number of extraneous devices from the virtualized host, though.

hello,

we're since a few weeks back to the roots and running our
listserv virtually (no, not on VM/ESA but on ESX 3.5 ;-).

Now we have an open case with VMWARE about sporadic loops,
which are bringing the WINDOWS-2003 servers into a state
where only a hard reset can help. The task-monitor shows
one CPU running 100% overhead (logon is possible only via
the VI console) and the second CPU empty.

CPU on the ESX isn't used very much. Disk-i/o goes via
Gigabit-NFS to a NAS.
The listserv-systems were virtualized using P2V and
are dedicated to LISTSERV (& LSMTP).

Does anyone have similar problems in the past.

regards
