SCO 6.0 & VMware problems
I've moved a physical server over to VMWare ESXi 5.1 using SCO 6.0 with MP4. For whatever reason, people are occasionally getting kicked out or are closing out their telnet session and it is leaving their processes running. When this happens, the sar %idle drops from 98-95% down to 25-20%. There have been enough left over processes that the sar would come back with 0 or 1% idle and the system would just crawl.
When on a the physical server, people would leave their sessions on over the weekend and would never get kicked off. If they did for whatever reason, the process would die off on its own. I am not seeing this here.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Carl.

VMWARE-USER-SUID-WRAPPER(8) Open VM Tools VMWARE-USER-SUID-WRAPPER(8)
NAME
vmware-user-suid-wrapper - wrapper programm for vmware-user(1)
SYNOPSIS
vmware-user-suid-wrapper
DESCRIPTION
Operations on the vmblock(9) filesystem are considered privileged, and as such may only be issued on a file descriptor acquired by root.
This is accomplished by vmware-user-suid-wrapper, a small setuid wrapper whose only purpose is to acquire a filesystem file descriptor,
drop superuser privileges, and then execute vmware-user(1). In particular, prepare the system for vmware-user means that it unmounts the
vmblock file system, unloads the vmblock module, then reloads the module, mounts the file system, and opens a file descriptor that vmware-
user can use to add and remove blocks.
OPTIONS
vmware-user-suid-wrapper has no options.
