Poor performance in Virtual Machines

This VMware KB Article has enough tips and tricks that I felt it needed to be referenced directly.

Highlights are:

  • Remove old hardware devices/drivers from P2V'd machines
  • Use the LSI Logic driver on Windows 2003 servers
  • Use the correct ACPI HAL
  • vSphere features discussion

    I was recently asked to create a short video detailing some of the new features of vSphere 4. This also led to a blog entry on our website. The Content of that article is contained below.
