Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi,

I don't think there will be any document (I searched for it too) from=20 Oracle about this since Oracle has not certified any of its products on=20 VMware. See MOS 249212.1
I talked with Oracle sales representative some time ago about this=20 matter and he told me that they don't have special document for not=20 certified VMs. Rules apply as if the VM was not there. They usually=20 leave it to the other vendor to sort it out and advice such customers.

Regards,
Miro
