Guest OS selection does not match installed OS.
Description
Discussion Text
Selecting the correct guest OS for each virtual machine is important. ESX Servers optimize certain internal configurations on the basis of this selection. For this reason, it is important to set the guest operating system correctly. The correct guest operating selection can greatly aid the operating system chosen and may cause significant performance degradation if there is a mismatch between the selection and the OS actually running in the virtual machine. The performance degradation may be similar to running an unsupported OS on the ESX Server. Selecting the wrong guest OS is not likely to cause a virtual machine to run incorrectly, but it could degrade the virtual machine’s performance.
