Figured it out on the day, the core 10gb switch was skipping a
heartbeat and all other switches connected to it would skip at the
exact same time as the core switch. Next LAN we're installing a
second core switch with a 4GB trunk to the main core switch with the
cod4 severs on it.<br>
<br>
As for hardware on the VM box we were running was a dual quad 2.6ghz
Xeon with 16GB ram, 6 x 1GB NIC's and each VM was on it's own SAS
drive. The core switch has dual 10GB connectors with fibre out so it
should of been more than enough to handle the traffic for the
servers however with the skip in the heartbeat even our quake 3
servers where lagging @ 2min intervals.<br>
<br>
As for the hitches I did a bit more research into it and hitch
warnings are normal and usually do not cause lag spikes so you are
correct Morpheus. We're also looking at running FireDaemon to run
the servers as services next time to trial this.<br>
<br>
Thank you for all your input and help and hopefully our next LAN
will run smoother.<br>

Give the vm more horsepower ? how is the vm set up ? On what
hardware the server is running ? there's so much reason to get
hitch, and all cases don't get lags...<br>

getting constant "hitch warnings" causing the server to lag at
random segments. The game will freeze for 0.5 - 1 seconds then
continue fine for a few minutes then do it again. Anyone have
any suggestions?<br>
