My company uses vmware for many test and development oracle databases as
well as application servers for various products. I was biased against
vmware but it is what was given to me to develop my data warehouse on and
vmware made me a believer.
I hammered away at it running etl loads for days, simulating multiple user
concurrent queries, and aside from being connected to a slow raid5 san which
was replaced with a raid 10 one :) when I eventually got my production box I
had no issues with vmware to the point where I would have to say that if I
wasn't told it was a vm I would not have known the difference. I currently
run my production Business Objects server on a vm and not issues there
either. I never believed I would think so highly of it when I first started
using it.
With all that being said for critical applications I still want dedicated
hardware but for dev/test/misc apps I like it.

Is anyone using vmware or MS virtual server to run any of their oracle
components, test or prod? Specifically we are thinking of running the
database and oem grid control on 1 of the above. Management has decided
that virtualization is the way to go for future windows servers. Our
admins are trying to decide which product to pick and their decision may
be influenced by how well oracle runs on each platform.
Everything I've read suggests that Oracle only supports vmware and that
rac isn't supported at all.
Thanks.
Joe
