Mar 07, 2012vCMP on Viprion 2400
I am retiring some of our 6900's and 3600's to migrate to a Viprion 2400. Does anyone use vCMP yet? If you virtualize the instances, is the performance less than not virtualizing the instances? Has vCMP been out long enough that you would feel comfortable running production on it? I'm just looking for some actual real life user feedback on it.

We are actually consolidating several platforms (6400/3900/1500) onto the VIPRION C2400 platform right now using vCMP. At first, I encountered several problems - mostly not due to vCMP specific problems but because of general v11 issues. If you haven't made the jump to v11 on any boxes yet, be prepared for some pretty drastic changes - especially in the HA department (with the introduction of traffic/device group/sync groups/etc).Josh

I think Josh's summary is quite good and accurate. - Nick_T_68319

Interesting, so you can only assign one core per guest per blade? So I could do 2 cores for a guest if I have 2 blades? I just bought 2 blades per chassis at the moment. So I was only planning on splitting it up into 2 guests, so that would be a lot of cores wasted at the moment. I'm in the process of racking it up in my lab at the moment to start POC'ing it out. - Josh_41258

All the guides are listed on the support site - can't imagine this has changed since it was last mentioned, but still want to check. with one chasis with one blade, if i run 2 vCMP guests they will both only use one CPU and the other two are wasted?
