Sentinel is supported on VMware ESX servers. When you set up a virtual environment, the virtual machines must have two or more CPUs. To achieve performance results that are same as the physical-machine testing results on ESX or in any other virtual environment, the virtual environment should provide the same memory, CPUs, disk space, and I/O as the physical machine recommendations.
For information about physical machine recommendations, see the NetIQ Sentinel Technical Information Web site.
