• Can I and should I do stress tests on the server machine?
• I opened raw report files and found an exception on the file for 2nd VM. But the VM-Exception chart shows that exception is on 4th VM. Why?

Can I and should I do stress test on the server machine?
You can, as a rehearsal, but probably you should not do so as a real test.

SuperStress may consume significant memory and CPU time. When it runs on the same machine, it may not simulate a real life situation, because your server will not have a dedicated CPU and memory.

I opened raw report files and found an exception on the file for 2nd VM. But the VM-Exception chart shows that exception is on 4th VM. Why?

The VM-Exception chart shows exceptions which are related to the number of running VMs.  If sometime, four VMs are running, all exceptions which happen at that period will be shown on the VM 4 tick, regardless on which VM the exception was actually thrown. This is a correct summery.
