Hi Mike, I have the VR running in a 4.8 VMware advanced zone. I have noticed a new behaviour since 4.6 - that VMware system VMs don't report 'Running' until they've successfully called home.

In a Basic Zone on CS 4.9, the VR never exits the "Starting" state. Is anyone using VMware to run their system VMs and has it working in 4.9 (or 4.8 or 4.7).
