Rich,
I used Oracle (12.1) on Nutanix at a former client a couple of years ago, and
it behaves itself. We didn't see any infra-related anomalies but we only had a
couple of lightly loaded DB's on there. You have to consider that the
infrastructure is all shared, so when we were implementing it and I was doing
some extreme I/O testing I was able to slow down everything quite severely,
with response times for all of the VM's suffering. For day-to-day workloads I
don't see an issue but I'd be wary of putting a DB on there which has
significant resource requirements.
I cannot comment about the licensing for it, but it's another area to be
cautious as it doesn't hard partition.
regards
Neil Chandler

Subject: Anyone using Oracle in a hyperconverged infrastructure?
Hey all,
Looking towards a hardware refresh, and one direction includes transitioning to
hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), like offerings from HPE SimpliVity and
Nutanix. This would initially be for Oracle 12.1, or hopefully 12.2.
Anyone currently running Oracle on HCI? Other than validating license
compliance, any concerns over things like performance or support?
Thanks!
Rich
