Does this concern anyone?
-----------
Support Status for VMWare
-----------------------------
Oracle provides support of the Oracle Stack when running on a VMware virtual
machine in the following manner. If a problem arises and it is a known Oracle
issue, Oracle support will recommend the appropriate solution. If that solution
does not work, the issue will be referred back to VMware for support. If the
problem is determined to be an unknown Oracle issue when running on a VMware
virtual machine, and the issue cannot be reproduced on a physical system by
Oracle support, the issue will be referred back to VMware for support. Oracle
and VMware have in place a joint customer support agreement to enable customer
support issues to be transferred between the two partners. In addition, all
versions of RAC are not supported on VMWare by Oracle.

Subject: Oracle on windows 2003 on vmware
List,
Our corporate wiz kid has decided to migrate our Oracle 10g database from
Linux to Windows2003 on Vmware.
Are there any special setup instruction needed to make this work properly?
Any references that I might have missed? I searched the OTN but did not find
anything that jumped out at me.
Linux server. 1 CPU, 4 GIG ram, 3 internal mount points for data. Oracle
setup with 1.6 GIG SGA
Windows VMWARE server. 1 CPU, 4 GIG ram, 3 mount points on SAN(2 fiber
channel 1 SATA) data. Oracle setup with 1.6 GIG SGA
Both servers have the same tables, partitions, and data loaded on one mount
point. In the Windows case it is the SATA SAN.
I set timing on.
I run the query select count(*) from a table that has 500,000,000 records and
Linux = 4 min, 24.83 seconds
Windows = 19 min,53.19 seconds
The results are proportionatly the same for the other tables that have
millions of records.
Is there any helpful hints that we might have missed when we set up the
VMWARE ESX server for windows/oracle?
When I google for VMWARE and Oracle the results are for Linux and RAC not
windows. Maybe they are trying to tell me something.
Any usefull suggestions?
Thanks,
