LVS cluster and vmware server

[Stuart walmsley]

I am running a LVS pair using keepalived with just over 20 mixed windows /
Linux hosts in 10 clusters all running over 3 VM ESX servers.

Each server has 16 cores, 64 Gig of memory and multiple bonded Gig NIC's
with all the OS's living on a shared 4Gig SAN fabric.

It performs very well and has meet all requirements in terms of both
performance and Availability and offers great flexibility.

As is always the case with VM ware you must ensure you have enough I/O and
memory to meet the needs of all the virtual hosts or overall performance
will be miserable.
