Oracle DB on Linux with VMWare Infrastructure
569211Mar 26 2007 — edited Jun 13 2007Our Technology Partners are recommending a VMWare platform for us to run our new Oracle 10G DB environment on. It includes using Bladecenter with AMD Blades and VMWARE.
The Oracle platform will be a number of VMWARE guests running 64bit Linux. I was wondering if anyone out there has done anything similiar? I am interested how well the dynamic assignment of virtual resource works in the real world. We want to assign CPU, Mem, I/O to different Oracle VM's during the day/night depending on what needs it the most.
Also, what Linux OS should I select? I am only really familiar with Oracle running on IBM AIX and Sun.
Thanks,
