Thanks for your responses. It was a documented requirement in a Metlaink note.
I searched on Metalink when we are asked to put some databases under vmware
inluding production database as per vendor recommendation. It was sometime in
2005-2006.
Regards
Rafiq

That’s been our experience as well – certainly more than 90% of the time, they
have no idea it’s on a VMWare box anyway, and we’ve never been told to
reproduce an error on a physical machine first (and a lot of our SRs have to do
with low-level things like CRS, ASM, etc.)
Thanks,
Matt

That’s only a requirement if it’s a new bug that isn’t already known to exist
with Oracle on the native OS directly. I think (my opinion here) Oracle
support is reasonable enough to work with their customers on this and will
probably meet you half way – they will search their knowledge base and do some
preliminary investigation and only if they get to the point that they think
it’s an issue solely with VMWare or Oracle on VMWare specifically, then at that
point they will require you to reproduce on a non-VMWare platform before they
troubleshoot further. I think that’s a fair approach. So far for me, the fact
that I’m running on VMWare hasn’t even come up in the conversations with Oracle
Support (and I’ve had a few). Once it does, I may change my tune.

Has Oracle changed their requirement to reproduce any bug or production issue
on a physical server installation of Oracle if it happened on Oracle installed
on vmware?
