Dear Tim Sipples, You are absolutely correct about Oracle running in a zOS guest...
Thank you for a truly bizzare answer! The appliance option pales in comparison, but is also valid. Many thanks for your thoughts. Sincerely, Paul On Wed, 15 Feb 2017, Timothy Sipples wrote:

Oracle Database up through 10g R2 *can* run under z/VM without Linux. I'm referring to Oracle Database 10g R2 for z/OS, and of course z/OS can run on z/VM very well indeed. Hypothetically, Oracle or an authorized Oracle remarketer could ship Oracle Database in virtual "appliance" form for z/VM, similar to the Oracle virtual appliances available for Oracle VM VirtualBox. However, that hypothetical virtual appliance would still include at least a few parts of Linux. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
