The devil is in the details - I'm sure what they mean is, "An issue that was
created because of VMWare being the VM". Those are slightly weasel words,
however - remember that Oracle's sole requirement is that if they have not seen
the bug before, if it is running on VMWare, they want you to recreate the issue
on a physical/non-vm environment. I agree that it is highly unlikely that the
VM will be a source of problems, but I consider it a very real problem that I'd
have to recreate a bug in a non-vm environment when I find one when running on
VMWare.
Thanks,
Matt

While I cannot confirm this, during a VM presentation a couple of months ago
VMWARE said that there had been only 1 support ticket closed by Oracle over the
last 3 years due to Oracle running on VMWARE (or any issues discovered because
of VMware). They mentioned that this item was on an old VMWARE version that
has had the issue resolved.
While we are not running anything I would consider mission critical on VM
boxes, that is mainly due to performance related items and not the support
issue. We do run production databases on VM hosts and have not had any issues
opening tickets with Oracle.

Hi folks,
Based on Oracle's ML note 249212.1, it seems that Oracle does not
officially certify any of its product for VMWARE, but it does certify
its products for the Oracle VM (464754.1). Having stated that, I am
interested to know if folks in this DL are running mission critical
Oracle software on vmware, particularly Oracle e-Business and fusion
middle-ware SOA suites, and what is their take on Oracle's support
statement?
Thanks
Amir
