Not in
a production environment, but I have been using VMWare Workstation since 2.0
with Oracle
as my
test, development platform. I run various Linux (RH, SuSE) with
Oracle without much problems.
I have
found occassionally simutanously start Opera and VMware cause my machine to
freeze.
Now, I
wouldn't want to run a production Oracle under VMware. Running Oracle is
as complex as it
is,
why add another component to the mix? You will now have to deal with
Windows + VMware + Windows + Oracle. You will have to deal with patching,
upgrading VMware. To me, it's not worth it. It's not
like
you
are consolidating 100+ database servers, or are you?

Subject: VMwareAll,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience (good or bad) with the use of VMware on Oracle database servers? I am hearing rumors within my company that management is looking to utilize VMware to consolidate our WindowsNT/2000 database servers (test, development, and production). At this point I have not been able to find much information relating to the use of VMware in an Oracle environment and I am curious if it is widely used. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
