Make frequent backups. Nagios relies heavily on the system clock
running nicely over a long period of time. VMWare isn't very good at
that sort of thing, so you'd be better off running it on a stand-alone
server.

Besides the clock issue, would you *really* want to monitor your VMWare
server from within the VMWare server itself? It's like testing if a gun
works by looking down the barrel and pressing the trigger half a dozen
times.
