on the 2950 we only have a few VM's.. sipX with some windows 2003 servers. Our plan is to add additional ACD servers in the sipX cluster (once we get that working). We do have a large Dell R900 where I have about 15 VM's running with multiple sipX servers, Windows servers, linux servers etc.. I have not experienced that pause issue with either VM host.. that is interesting. We have internal storage on the 2950 and a Dell MD1000 SAS array for the R900. One thought.. on the rogue VM.. how many vCPU's do you have assigned? If you have the max assigned I could see this affecting other VM's possibly. Another thought is try limiting which cores the VM is allowed to use. On the VM properties -->resources tab --> Advanced CPU setting. Here you can select which processor (cores) the VM can use. we have 2 proc quad core in our 2950, so all 8 cores show up there. You can simply check off a handful of cores, so the VM doesn't have access to all of the host CPU. I'd be curious if you still have the pause issue after configuring this.
