Good afternoon. Do any of you have any suggested VMWare settings for your software? I setup 2 VM's for all of my software. 1 for allen bradley software, and one for all my misc programs. I have a Brand new Dell M6800 fully loaded. Top of the line processor, 32gb ram, Win 7 Pro, SSD hard drive for OS, and a hybrid drive for the VM's. My VM's are both Win 7 Pro as well. I have them setup with 8gb memory, and 4 processors(1 processor, 4 core).
My programming software freezes up all the time. The vms are constantly bogged down. It takes over a minute to assembly an online edit in RS5000 sometimes.
Right now I have a corrupt VMX file on my Misc VM. IT will be having VMware remote in on Wednesday to see if they can find any issues. That will be my last chance, if they cant get it working, I am removing them. I have heard all of the praise for VM's on this forum, but I have had nothing but head aches from them. I like them, but the performance absolutely sucks! I have even had them bogged down for over 2 hours after a fresh reboot. I have no Antivirus software installed on them, and verified AV software doesn't scan the VM files.
Does any body have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kenneth
