We're stating to deploy virtual machines more and more at where I work and I've had good luck with them so far, but I've hit a snag and I can't seem to get a straight answer out of google, so I thought I'd run it by here and see if any of you may know about this. What's happening is that when multiple VMs are configured to connect to the host CD-ROM on power up, after about an hour or so I get a "Device IDE-0 time out" error message and every VM drops network connection for about 10-15 minutes. This is only happening on the DL385 servers and not on the VM servers that run on DL380s.
If I configure the VMs to not connect to the host CD-ROM upon power on, this doesn't happen. Of course the CD-ROM drive won't be accessible then either and we can't install software onto them. Have any of you run into anything like this before?
