I am working on a consolidation project for one of the fortune 100 company.
1. Is it a OK to migrate the OS instances (Suse Linus, Windows Server 2008) with large memory (from 64Gb to 128Gb, and 16-32 cores) from physical to virtual (on ESXi 5.5) for critical applications (such as SAP application server)?
2. Is there any known issue associated with running this kind of VMs on ESXi 5.5 ?
3. If there are no issues in placing VMs with large memory requirement on ESXi, do I need to follow any specific best practices for these VMs ?
Please advise.
Thank you.
