Our IT department is trying to reduce the number of stand-alone servers by going to Virtual servers (1 machine which appear to be multiple machines on the network) Has anyone run DOORS 7.1 or 8.1 in this environment? Is it supported?

Not sure if it supported, but our developers use virtual machines for testing their code and they have doors 7.1 running okay in the same environment. No problems so far.

We have DOORS 8.0 running on a virtual machine. Our only issue has been integration with Test Director. DOORS itself runs fine

Does anyone see an negative performance impacts running the DOORS client in the virtual machine environment? BTW, which virtualization software is being used?

We (BAE Systems) are also moving to a Virtual environment.

Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences to share??

We have DOORS on a virtual server and Synergy Change on a differrent one and DOORS clients not on virtual machines seem happy to communicate with them. Admittedly this is a test network not a production one.

We run one DOORS 8.x ddbs for about half a year on Windos 2003 virtual machine.
This runs without problems and would be nice for backing up data (i.e. volume shadow copy).

Have DOORS on a Win2K3 Virtual Machine, works just fine. You wouldn't even know. Though I don't believe it's officially supported by Telelogic.

Have had my doors server running on VMware for 2 years now, no downside as far as I can tell. One possible advantage that I havent tested out yet is the possibility of making backups using 'snapshotting', IE, no server downtime durring the backup. Anyone got any stories to report there? Currently I follow the telelogic line: Stop Server, Backup Start Server. However, my downtime is around 2 hours, and I am now looking at making the data available to users located in a different timezone where the downtime will become visible (wasnt a problem when all users were tucked up in bed at the backup hours). Am pretty sure that the Telelogic line is 'dont do it', but wondering about any real word experiences.
