RE: Is anybody running 10g on VMWare?

We're beginning to use VMWare here, but haven't put any Oracle databases
on it yet.  Because I'm new to VMWare, this is the first I've heard
about any database performance issues.  Are these issues formally
documented or discussed anywhere that you could share with me?  Thanks.

We use 10g (R1 and R2) on linux (SLES9) on top of VMWARE ESX.
 
I can confirm the performance issue (especially regarding I/O).
 
We decided to use this kind of architecture for development systems
only.
In this way we force our developers to optimize the code.
 
It is even good to be able to set up a testing environment in few hours
instead of waiting and installing several servers.
 
Regards
Fabrizio

	Hi! 

	Is anybody out there running a 10g database on Linux on VMWare
ESX servers? 

	We are thinking about putting a 10g database on there, but I
heard that there are serious issues with VMWare when it comes to I/O
throughput.

	Any hints would be greatly appreciated. 

	Regards, 
	Helmut
