Installing Virtual Machine Guest Operating System
The VMware ESX host documentation lists recommended virtual machine guest operating systems (GOS) and their installation and setup as virtual machines (VMs). Refer to the VMware ESX host documentation for information on setting up your virtual machine configuration.
CAUTION: In VMware KB 51306, VMware identifies a problem with RHEL 5 (GA), RHEL 4 U4, RHEL 4 U3, SLES 10 (GA), and SLES 9 SP3 guest operating systems. Their file systems may become

Because of this known issue, HP does not recommend, and does not support the usage of
RHEL 5 (GA), RHEL 4 U4, RHEL 4 U3, SLES 10 (GA), and SLES 9 SP3 as guest operating systems for virtual machines on VMware ESX hosts attached to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems.
CAUTION: The use of the
