Re: Oracle on windows 2003 on vmware

Perhaps they just like OS's that have a large pool of experienced and cheap
administrators and not OS's that seem to generate a large pool of expensive
evangelists.

List,

Our corporate wiz kid has decided to migrate our Oracle 10g database from
Linux to Windows2003 on Vmware.

Are there any special setup instruction needed to make this work properly?
Any references that I might have missed? I searched the OTN but did not find
anything that jumped out at me.



Linux server. 1 CPU, 4 GIG ram, 3 internal mount points for data.  Oracle
setup with 1.6 GIG SGA



Windows VMWARE server. 1 CPU, 4 GIG ram, 3 mount points on SAN(2 fiber
channel 1 SATA) data. Oracle setup with 1.6 GIG SGA



Both servers have the same tables, partitions, and data loaded on one
mount point. In the Windows case it is the SATA SAN.

I set timing on.

I run the query select count(*) from a table that has 500,000,000 records
and

 Linux = 4 min, 24.83 seconds

Windows = 19 min,53.19 seconds



The results are proportionatly the same for the other tables that have
millions of records.



Is there any helpful hints that we might have missed when we set up the
VMWARE ESX server for windows/oracle?



When I google for VMWARE and Oracle the results are for Linux and RAC not
windows. Maybe they are trying to tell me something.



Any usefull suggestions?

Thanks,
