The most obvious reason many oracle customers do not use vmware and are looking at oraclevm is the support issue. the company I work for walked away from vmware because oracle says in very difficult wording it doesn't support it. in oracle's wording: Oracle does support vmware, but doesn't certify it, which means that if an issue is deemed a vmware issue, Oracle asks you to continue your call with vmware. but, on the other hand, I use both vmware and virtualbox on my laptop as a playground. frits On Tue, Oct 7, 2008 at 7:01 PM, Allen, Brandon <Brandon.Allen@xxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > Hi Jay, > > I posted the details a few weeks ago - please see the details here and > let me know if you have any questions or suggestions: > > //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/09-2008/msg00080.html > > Here is my update on the improvement after we switched from 32-bit to > 64-bit OEL4: > > //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/09-2008/msg00084.html > > Thanks, > Brandon > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jay Weinshenker [mailto:jweinshe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > > > Brandon - I'm curious what issue you ran into with a 32-bit OEL4 guest > on ESX was - mind sharing? > > -- > //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l > > >
