Originally posted by doodab View PostYou can easily configure workstation to use only physical RAM. But that is beside the point. Aside from the fact that ESX is a totally different beast it's the installation of an IBM license monitoring tool within the virtualised environment that is causing problems, nothing to do with the choice of hypervisor. To that extent OwlHoot's advice was about as useful as a bunch of daffodils.
The stuff that darmstadt is dealing with is indeed a different kettle of fish. I've seen license monitoring tools which not only have a manual just as thick as the admin manual, but have used more resources than the main product itself.

Originally posted by Sysman View PostI nearly bought VMware workstation a couple of months ago, but found it a performance hog in contrast with VBox. Yes, it will allow your total clients' RAM to exceed your available RAM, but it does that by paging, and that paging starts before you run out of the physical stuff.
Your mileage may vary, but I got sick of seeing the disk activity lights solidly on for much of the time. Give me some whacking great servers with decent disk farms to have a go at and I'd probably say the opposite.Last edited by doodab; 16 June 2011, 13:50.

Further to that:
Common Inventory Technology enabler is a script that enables the Common
Inventory Technology to obtain information about partitioned environments. It is
required by the agent on systems not managed by VM managers such as ESX or
Virtual Center.
The infrastructure is already in place with Hyper-V (about 180 Windows systems,) XEN open source (about 500 servers) and AIX LPARS so I can't change anything yet you have to use this software for sub-capacity reporting. I've successfully installed it on various other systems (Win, AIX, Linux and zLinux) but they made numerous change sin the latest release but somehow forgot some of the documentation updates, aaarrgh

Documentation does not compute...
WTF is this meant to mean? Do I run it or don't I?
You must run the Common Inventory Technology enabler before installing IBM® License Metric Tool agents on any hosts with guest operating systems that run either under Microsoft® Virtual Server or a VMware server that does not use the VMware Virtual Center. Otherwise, no partition information is available when you install the agents, and they are registered on the administration server with a status of incomplete.
Before you begin
Important: Note that running the Common Inventory Technology enabler is not required when a given agent is managed by a VM Manager (including IBM WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance).
