Default Smartcenter Server running on Vmware anybody?

I am thinking of migrating my smartcenter server to Vmware. Do any of you guys currently do this or would you consider it?

Personally I dont see any downside. The server is a beast and if anything were to go wrong you could simply roll back to a snapshot.

Anybody got any thoughts on this?

This is offically an unsupported configuration.

That being said I do it and it works just fine

It certainly sounds like a sweet way to do backups. Let us know how this goes.

It does work, my colleague has done this but definately not supported. Make sure that you allow/have enough memory especially for the newer versions of CP.
