I have had problems with VMWare under I/O stress, situations where the
VM just dies.
The last example was while installing RHEL4u7 on a new VM and it simply
died. There are a few entries in the log and I'm currently googling
arround, but I've had similar experiences some time ago while trying to
create databases and formating raw partitions for ASM/RAC. So I figured
I should try a different virtualization environment... Oracle seemed
like a good idea, specially since we have virtually unlimited access to
ML, Patches and Oracle Products in general.

Why do you want to switch from VMWare to OracleVM? Have you had
problems with VMWare? I'm curious because I'm in the middle of a
project to deploy a new production environment on VMWare and so far
everything is going very well except for a performance problem we
encountered with running OEL4 32-bit on 64-bit VMWare. Once we switched
to 64-bit OEL4, performance was great. Oracle openly acknowledges that
Windows guests perform poorly on OracleVM so I probably wouldn't even
bother trying it.

Ok, now to the point. We need to keep all the VMs working as they are
our main testing environment and I was wondering if anyone has any
experience with OracleVM, specially running the Windows 2003 with MSSQL
Server, as I'm pretty sure the Oracle installs will work flawlessly.
