I have a Plan 9 VM on an ESX (it's currently dormant). With a Lab
Manager front end, it has to run as a template -- not a "published" VM
-- because Plan9 doesn't support the VMware tools. I didn't dig into
this to see if this is because of local administration policies (the
ESX is not managed by me), or if the guest tools are required by the
Lab Manager interface. I do recall that I had to change the disc type
(two different types were offered, if I recall) in order to install
it.
