Dear list, - thank you for all of your inputs. - I'm afreid that I agree with the views of J Sloan, vmware is broken is this respect. - We'll either get a solution from vmware (Oh yes, we paid a lot for a lot of licenses..) or we'll look into Xen. We can do so, because we only run SLES9/10 with SLES10/SuSE10.2 on top. If only we had known....
