I need recommendations for a small 32bit VM for vMotion testing.

[Moif_Murphy]

Having used a combination of Sammy Bogaert's Building the Ultimate vSphere Lab and Derek Seaman's http://derek858.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/vmware-vcenter-51-installation-part-1.html guides I now have a fully functioning nested 5.1 lab ready for testing.

I now need a 32bit VM to test vMotion with and I was wondering anyone could recommend something they use? Perhaps a prebuilt appliance?

Thanks

Pre-built appliances are quick and easy, but I also sometimes use a powered-on VM with no guest OS on it as well. Doesn't get much faster than that.

for just the purpose of vMotion testing, you could create a blank VM.

Of course

Thanks!
