OpenVAS on ESX(i)

[Helmut Koers]

Hi,
anyone out there with experience setting up and running OpenVAS in an
ESX(i) environment?

I am about to set it up and do appreciate any issues and/or
recommendations that are known already.

Thanks,
Helmut

there is no difference if you have running software
on ESXi or bare metal - otherwise large companies
would not run Tier 3 infrastructure on vSphere

Yes, we are doing so. But right now, OpenVAS is only used occasionally.

I can confirm Haralds position. We currently can't see any problems.
