Just for clarification, you are talking 'other virtual machines', I am talking 'other VMBKs'. There is a difference there in my opinion. Another VMBK may very well be your own sibling in a virtual N-way configuration. The worst case for this would be in the (of course not recommended) situation when there are more virtual cpu's defined to the vm than there are real cpu's available. Then steal time basically becomes wait-om-myself time, true? Best regards, Pieter Harder [email protected] tel +31-73-6837133 / +31-6-47272537 Brabant Water N.V.
