So you are definitely short on storage. Which is why you can get ping responses, but no new shells/processes forked to log on. > One of the guests is 1280Mb, the other 1792.

And these don't seem too skimpy either. <snip> > Both guests have a 19188k swap disk (VDISK) defined.

If it's running on the same image as the one you are load-testing, is it possible that grinder is chewing up significant resources... stealing from what would be Websphere's resources?
