We encountered the same issue, when trying to provision the gateway to enable
Oracle Platinum Support for an Exadata environment. No workaround that I'm
aware of... we ended up opting for the physical hardware version from Oracle.
As far as I could see, there's no technical requirement for this limitation...
it's simply Oracle being Oracle.

Hello everyone -
We are trying to configure Oracle Advanced support gateway for platinum
services for ZDLRA.
We provisioned a VMWare VM and during the install we found that support gateway
works only on Oracle VM or on a physical server. Our capacity is small to
justify a dedicated server for gateway. Does anyone know if there is a
workaround to use it with vmware?
I am also trying to understand if there is a technical reason to restricting it
to OVM or a physical server?
Thanks much
