Hi Hen

I don't know about VSphere, but on real hardware this has also only
worked for servers with Intel processors. I guess your server hardware
may be AMD too ?

Btw, there's nothing you can do to change that behavior, sorry

If you are running NetWare directly on top of Intel hardware you should
be able to do proper CPU profiling without any problems. So I guess
you're running NeTWare on VSphere on a Intel box now ?

If that is indeed the case it appears as the virtualization layer limits
your CPU profiling ability here.

No, the CPU profiling doesn't work with virtualized Netware.
