The first aspect you should test is I/O performances: physical raw partitions, proprietary file systems, remote SANs systems, local virtual IDE or SCSI disk subsystem. All of these configurations should be tested and compared with each other and against physical machines I/O performances. Another second aspect you could test is network performances since virtual network adapters devices can handle traffic in different ways and be more or less efficient. The best way to stress test a VM is to use standard tool for physical machines stress testing. And just in case you are new to this practice below I compiled a list of great, ready to go, free tools Read on here.
