We've been running Aptare's StorageConsole for several years. The install is fairly easy and if you need help, Aptare will help you. I'm guessing that the install was done in an hour or two. Configuration is trivial - the hardest part, if you choose to make it so, is setting up the server groups

NOM is just an app and it shouldn't/doesn't care/know that it's running on a VM. If you ever called support, would you even mention the hardware something is running on? You're going to say, "It's running on Solaris/Linux/Windows," not "It's running on a Dell 2850." So why would you mention that'
