I have recently hosted ESXi 3.5 in a server with 6GB memory, 2 Intel Xeon 5400 series quad core processors in HP Proliant DL 380 G5 server. I have two VM's in it with Windows 2003 SP2 OS and SQL 2000 SP4 installed in both the VM's. Each VM's have 3 GB memory and 4 processors. After doing some load testing with DB Hammer it is performing real slow. Infact my current sql server which is in a HP BL20P blade with only 2GB memory is much better than the VM. The old server was using SAN for storage and my VM's are using locally attached Array with Raid 1+0 disks. Am I missing something here or not configuring something correctly because the performance is real terrible. Any suggestion please....

we have VMWAre with SAN and so far good.
I would see two things :
>>Disk management
>> VMWAre configuration dont know much but it is not easy to configure the VMWare efficiently.
my one cent.
