Agreed, learning new stuff is awesome. Virtual machines are no different than their physical cousins. If a server/app leaks memory on a physical machine then it will in a virtual environment also. Being a 24*7 hospital, we have our main HIS system doing reboots of 60 vm's every month per the vendor @ 2:00 am. :(

I'm trying to get some straight information on doing maintenance reboots of virtual systems. Some people I've talked to say yes, others say no. I've been doing systems admin work for a long time now, but only recently have had to get up close and personal with VM's on ESX hosts. Yes? No? Why or why not? Learning new stuff is a good thing.
