As part of server consolidation we are being asked (forced) to rehost
our D3 Linux 7.4.2 server on a VMware virtual machine.
Now, performance isn't a huge deal since our machine is currently very
under utilized.
I did a quick try here and could not get it to install (complained about
the partition table). Not sure if this was a VM problem or mine.
Has anyone successfully run D3 on a VMware Linux virtual machine ?
Experiences ?

Are you using a SAN or NAS for your virtual partitions? Could there
be an issue with D3 not finding the RAW partition needed to host the
database because it is not local storage? I believe that D3 likes to
think it is in total, direct, control of the physical hard disk. I
have found ways around this (one thing I have done is create a series
of 2GB files and then have linux set them up as if they were hard
drives, that should be similar to a vmWare virtual partition). Make
sure that you create a virtualized drive just of D3 to have it's
database on. I wouldn't set it up as a partition of the virtual
partition, but make it it's own vmdk file.
