According to HP, ALM1152 can be deployed on a VMware ESX server. The system configurations of each virtual machine are the same as the ALM server system configurations.

Note:ALM has been tested only on the latest versions of the virtualization products. Other virtual environments are supported as long as the virtualization vendor claims full compatibility between the virtual and physical environment.

For ALM-**PCHost**, and **Standalone LG's** LoadRunner supports VMware ESX versions 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.1, and 5.0.

Running Vusers on virtual machines ***MAY*** adversely affect performance due to the sharing of physical resources. So it is best monitor the VM LG's resources and the VMware host machine during Load testing.
