Re: RAC & VMware - Production Usage

Jason,

So I take it that your happy with Oracle's "lack of support" regarding running 
Oracle on VMware. My own view is that this is the key driver to not running 
mission critical Oracle databases on VMware, doing it using with RAC to me just 
makes it more likely that you'd have problems with Oracle support if you ever 
need to call them.

Cheers,

Chris

Subject: RAC & VMware - Production Usage

Hello,

I'm keen to hear of experiences (good and bad) of running RAC on top of VMware, 
in production environments.

I'm also keen to hear if anyone is running RAC at extended distances also on top 
of VMware. I'm not convinced about this myself, but I've not seen any hard 
evidence ruling out running like this, so thoughts/opinions would be welcome on 
this. 


It will be 11gR2 with fibre connectivity between arrays and a distance under 
50Km.

jason.
