Thanks Branden for sharing your experience. We are discussing in general in
respect of their written and documented requirement.
As regard dealing with support, I have more than 20 years experience to deal
with Oracle Support and quite fortunate to work with large otganizations having
GOLD level support and quite good influence on Oracle Support. Even when there
was no concept severity, all our SR were handled through their Support Manager
designated for that client.
The client with whom I am working now is transferring all physical servers
(dev/test only) of a client from NJ Data Center (to make more room for new
production servers) to their Data Center in MI and they are going as
wmware(p2v). It includes Oracle Database servers under windows/Linux/HP. So
far so good. I have not seen any problem with any of Oracle Database as far as
performance is concerned. We did not hit any bug yet either. This project will
be completed sometine in August 2009.
Regards
Rafiq

Performance on VMWare
It’s probably note 249212.1 you’re referring to and yes, it says something to
that effect, but I think there are a lot of different interpretations of the
note. I think my interpretation as stated previously is fairly accurate, but
in reality it could come down to something as trivial as who answers the phone
when you call support and what kind of mood they’re in, or how carefully and
politely you submit your request, etc. I can’t quote the Metalink note here
due to licensing restrictions, but anyone with Oracle support can (and probably
should) read it very carefully for themselves and then follow up with direct
conversations with both Oracle sales and tech support reps to clarify any
doubts and make a good decision as to whether or not Oracle’s support policy
meets their needs for running on VMWare or not.
Regards,
Brandon

Thanks for your responses. It was a documented requirement in a Metlaink note.
