8.5 server in VM wont start

hello

Just wanted to share this with you guys.

I have installed 8.5 server on ESX server vm running w2k3 enterprise ed sp2 4gb ram.

Installed went through successfully, but the domino server wouldnt start.

It cranks out on starting the diagnostic service.

Reinstalled on another clean vm, same problem.

Downed the ram to 2gb on the 2nd install, domino started.

Subject: 8.5 and VM ware works here.

We are running (3) 64 bit Domino 8.5 servers on a win 2003 server. Would like to run on a 2008 server whenever support is available for it. Maybe a Lotusphere anouncement?

Subject: Re : Windows 2008, VMs and 64-bit

We run in VMWare Server and ESX but not 64-bit nor with 4GB RAM… sorry. Not had issues with 512MB to 2.5GB 32-bit 8.5.

It is stated in this for Win2k8 64 bit :

=

IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 expands platform capabilities with the addition of support for platforms such as AIX 64 bit, Windows 2008 64 bit, Citrix 64 bit, Ubuntu 8.0.4, and Macintosh OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Subject: why me?!

(it might be a long year ahead)
