Anyone on the list have implemented E-Business suite but the database is on Oracle VM ?
Are you already using it for production environment? If yes, have you encountered any issues (performance,maintenance,support,etc.)?

To make the long story short, we have this situation on a client.. they have planned to acquire a 4 CPU (physical) Intel quad core server, so on the Oracle Licensing that's 8 Processor License (EE).. time passed and the hardware vendor no longer ships that kind of machine.. and what was shipped was the 4 CPU (physical) Intel hexacore .. So with this kind of machine, they need to have 12 Processor License (EE).. hmm... well the client could opt to

• buy the remaining 4 Processor License but the cost would boost up..
• or they could opt to hardware partition the server using Oracle VM by physically segmenting the server's CPU thus only the allocated CPU will only be licensed

Well I got an interesting situation here, wondering if anyone on the list have also encountered this.. comments, reactions, are welcome..
