Hi Grzegorz,
There is another option- use zones on Solaris.
When choosing the ESX is still a problem with licenses, you need license for 
entire physical machine - if this is a problem for you:)

Hi,
finally got some pc trash working, which is
Quad core 2 Q6600 , 8GB RAM, 2x 1TB 7200 64MB cache SATA2 Disks.
Wondering which virtualization method to choose:

1. Oracle VM
Pros:
   -Xen (bare metal virtualization)
   - templates
   - stick with Oracle
 - already downloaded templates :)

Cons:
- need additional pc for Oracle VM Manager

2. ESX
Pros:
- mature technology
- popular one

Cons:
- need additional pc for ESX management (not an option with 1 pc)

3. Just some Linux disto with Oracle Vbox .
Pros:
-easy

Cons:
- dont see any other


4. Just some Linux disto with VMware
-generaly same as Oracle VBOX


My goal is to made

- 2 node 10.2.0.X RAC
- 2 node 11.2.0.X RAC
- 11.2.0.X single with Logical/Physical Standby
- 10.2.0.X single with Logical/Physical Standby

of course not running this parallel :).

And most important question , should I choose Solaris x86 as guest
system  because
I've noticed all Oracle Hackers are using Solaris because of DTrace :)
and mpstat
Looks like DTrace is a must have when trying to go deep into internals
is that right ?
Regards
GG
