zimbra network 6.0.4 on ESX 4.0

[teo]

hi all,
we are planning to migrate to zimbra 6.0.4 on vmware ESX.4.0 (san configuration) in a multiserver installation for 1000/2000 users connected to an external ldap.

We want to use ubuntu 8.04.2 for zimbra servers.
My questions are:

1) Is it better 32 or 64 bit version ?
2) what about best partitions ?
3) does multiserver installation is good for my scenario ?

thanks a lot and have a good day.

VMWare isn't supported as of yet.

1) 64-bit, the more memory the better
2) I don't think it really matters as long as you have plenty of room. Drive configuration matters much more. How is the san connected to the server?
3) For 1000/2000 users you shouldn't need multiple servers.

VMware server, no. VMware ESX is. There are plenty of people (including us) who run Zimbra on top of ESX(i).

My bad. I knew it would work, I just thought it wasn't supported. Kind of like running NE on CentOS. Thanks for correcting me anyway...now I know.

You are still required to run a supported distribution for NE if it's a VM.
