Along these lines, we've had issues with the VMs hosting Spectrum pausing (due to some VMware bug - I don't know the details). If the pause is short enough, then Spectrum doesn't notice. However, if the pause exceeds some unknown threshold, then the SpectroServers start throwing CORBA errors and need to be restarted. It's as if they fall out of sync and never recover.
Other than this issue, we've not noticed any difference between running VMs and running physical hardware.
