Hello, Found few posts on forum related to VMware and Ax running on it - but in general not much exhaustive details are there. Did anyone installed AX 2012 using VMware infrastructure? I am trying to have it working smoothly, but still have some performance issues.

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 is an ERP solution for a wide range of worldwide businesses. A world-class product demonstration will absolutely play a critical role in the selling process. We strive to provide the best-in-class demo tools and materials, enabling partners to showcase the product to their. Multisoft Virtual Academy one of the world's leading Training and Certification Organization dealt with Online, Classroom, Corporate and Bootcamp Training Programs. Immediate access to all Microsoft Exams and 1800+ other exam PDFs. This is the BEST deal at only $149.00 for unlimited access.

Thing is that all virtual machines used (AOSes, AX itself, SQL etc) seem to have lot of resources not used (CPU/MEM), but users are complaining agains application response times - and it is true it does not seem to be fast at all. Are there any general rules related to VMware setup I may be not aware of? Or maybe anyone who is running AX 2012 on VMware could share things he/she needed to do to have performance of whole environment at acceptable level? Regards Tomasz. Hello, I am using PAL since few weeks - but even if it provides lot of information, I have some doubts regarding accuracy of some of them; i.e. I am being told, on all servers I am trying to use it, that CPU usage is exceeding 70% or even 80% sometimes, while it seem to be constant at ~15%; also some averages seem to be wrongly counted and falling into red because of that - so that is why I am not 100% sure it is perfect tool (and yes, I am aware of sheet where processor details are to be provided). Regarding PAL as well - one of the counter shown by PAL report is the one labeled 'Processor DPC Rate'; problem is that I am unable to find lot of details about, and not sure how to intreprete what PAL shows.

Charts are as below: so values are falling int critical, problem is that I can not find any reasonable explanation what these values mean, and what should be consider as reasonable (and baced on what factors); why '20' is considered as critical limit? Only details I've found were related to possbile disk issues (slowness/performance), but I'd prefer to understood it more. Would maybe anyone be able to explain what really Processor DPC Rate measures, and how it impacts performance?

Regards Tomasz. Hi, Regarding 'VMWare setup' - in fact there is nothing special in that on, it is quite same as the one for Hyper-V. Visual Basic For Windows 7 64 Bit. My post was related more to performance issues which - I thought - could have source in fact it is VMware, but in fact, sad but true, no matter which hypervisor you will use, performance is same on both: Hyper-V and VMWare. Considering above - not any 'special tricks' to have VMware-based AX working fine.

Only one thing worth to take a look is virtual network setup - AX requires latency to be under 5msec, while in both: VMware and Hyper-V there ware some trocks to be done to achieve that (do not remember details, for sure you will find in on net). In short words - forget about any 'special' hint to make VMware+AX setup running perfectly; what is important - forget to achieve same using Hyper-V+AX:) Just get familiar with slower responses from application. Regards Tomasz. Thanks for your reply, I know your post was regarding performance but I thought you could help me as you have done this setup. I have 13 years of experience in telecom related apps but I am new in MS dynamics so I have no clue about it and unfortunately still didn't find any related material.
