Hi I have a 12 Core Mac Pro 5,1 running ESXi 5.5 2068190, Dual 2.8GHz 6 Core Xeon, 32GB RAM
I have 3 guest OS's running on it, configured as follows.
OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite
VM Hardware Version 9
CPU - 1 Socket, 6 Cores
12GB RAM
Windows Server 2012 R2 x64
VM Hardware Version 8
CPU - 1 Socket ,4 Cores
12GB RAM
Ubuntu
VM Hardware Version 8
CPU - 1 Socket - 2 Cores
6GB RAM
Out of this configuration the only Guest OS I am having an issue with is OS X, I am finding performance of the OS is quite sluggish, I connect to it via Screen Sharing on a Macbook Pro.
I have installed VMWare tools. However still find the performance lacking, even general navigating the OS X Gui is slow. In contrast the Windows server VM is working great.
Is there a reason why my OS X guest OS is functioning like this? Is there anything I can do to improve it? I also used to run OS X Mavericks Guest OS, and that also had the same issues.
