Security - We will get there

I have one virtual host which I need to use VMware Server for some business reason so I downloaded the latest version and get it installed pretty easily as what I did before for quite a lot of VMware Server installations. It used to be quite stable but for some reason this version keeps crashing one of my vmware instances. The vmware logs did not give me any useful hint so I can not figure out how to fix the crashing yet.

One of my customers is paying vmware tons of money to run vSphere. It's really nice to work with the vCenter tools and I was definitely enjoying this product until I found it doesn't allow me to add virtual disk on the fly while the virtual instance was running. It says "License not available to perform the operation, Feature hotplug not licensed, requires need have have".

My practice on Vmware,Xen and virtual server/pc.

Vmware tips:

1. There are three options for host memory usage under host setting. You can choose to "Fit all virutal machine memory into reserved host RAM" to get the maximum performance and avoid un-predictable slowness sometimes.
