Has anyone tried virtualization on Lawson?

There isn’t anything specific to it, but you haven’t posted your platform or version information, so any detailed advice will be hard to offer

Has anyone successfully virtualized Lawson? If so, would you share your successful tips with us? Lawson states that virtualization is supported, but we have not found any documentation on tips or tricks to making it work. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Definitely even Lawson does it. Have your Lawson rep put you in contact with a client wiling to give you the 411 that's what we did. Buncombe County (cant remember the state) did it before Lawson signed off on it and they've been fine. I think they are a Windows shop. We will be doing it and we are windows with an Oracle/Unix backend. App servers will all be VM.

It's very easy to virtualize lawson, just like any other server. However, can you accept performance penalty that comes with virtualization? In return, you gain all the good stuffs that comes with virtualization.

The same argument with rather or not to virtualize your Database Server. It's give and take scenario.

Jimmy, could you elaborate on the "performance penalty"? We are currently a Unix/Oracle shop looking to go Windows/SQL on VM's and am looking for user input on the subject. Thanks....

In my opinion, VM access to physical resources will never be as fast as physical box. There are alot of server benchmark programs out there. I encourage you to use them to measure the performance hit. My experience with identical hardware Non-VM/VM lawson, jobs will take 10-15% longer to complete on VM.
