RE: Oracle 10g on VM with NAS

Well, alright then. Go forth and do no wrong.

Just keep in mind that VMWare does impose an I/O penalty, and 1Gb/sec can be a pretty small straw to pull data through in a decent size warehouse environment.

Feel free to email me offlist if you want to talk about specifics.

Thanks,
Matt
