Hi - I've ended up having to do this sort of thing in past as well. I just built a VM, added heaps of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used VMware's CPUBusy.vbs script (Google search that) and ran it loads of times so that it started to max out real physical processors..For the memory, I just opened up a massive text file in Wordpad and started scrolling up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test out the alarms, just don't do it as a busy time, or use some dev ESX servers... cheers Danny
