FW: question about wmware

Hi
 
Does anyone have experience to run postgresql on wmware esx server 3.5?
We run a virtual pc with windows 2008 (x32) 2 cpu on which postgressql is installed.
 
We are migrating from oracle to postgresql, oracle was run on stand-alone servers, however we would rather run postgres in the wmware cluster.
 
Does anyone have experience from this, if it is a good solution?
 
I know google is my friend but has anyone seen a good document regarding this?
 
thanks
Niklas

Yes, have done this many times. It is a very good solution, though I'd
strongly recommend you to run it on some Linux distribution rather
than windows.

Other than that it just sets the same requirements on the I/o system
wrt sync and write ordering as any othe database under vmware does, so
make sure you understand those requirements and don't set your vmware
wrong there.

i run several postgresql instances on w2k3 and w2k8 on several vmware
esxi vms without any problem for like 14 months now. the performance of
course isn't as good as on a dedicated, hardware database machine but
depending on your service needs that might not pose a problem.

for more technical vmware questions, you'd probably be better of asking
on the general purpose postgres mailinglist, e.g.
pgsql-general@...

cheers,
thomas
