Just my 2cents:

I didn't stumble exactly upon this.. (haven't tried ESXi yet)

i tried with ESX 3.5u1 / sol10u5 and ESX 3.5u2 / sol10u6 (current) and
neither of them made problems.. (i've to admit, i didn't used them 24/7
but i think i'd have noticed)

my physical machine was/is a SF X4100 (no M2)

i think your problem is with the virtual nic / nic-driver:

=> do you have lockups too? (complete solaris-instance seems frozen /
host does not respond to ping for some seconds) (i expierenced this, as
long as i used the wrong nic/driver) (happened more often as more
traffic travelled through)

make sure you have the vmware-tools installed ;)

are your running 64-bit or 32-bit kernels? (isainfo -v) (in case of
ESX3.5u2/sol10u6 i used 32bit, not sure about 3.5u1/sol10u5)

if 64bit, make sure you use the (virtual) e1000 nics [ethernet
$xxx.virtualDev = "e1000" in .vmx file]

in 32bit, make sure you use the vmxnet driver (without tools its pcnX)
if i remember it correctly, the vmware-config perl script does not
install the vmxnet drivers in 64bit..)


Best regards,
Michael Luksch
