VMWare & Oracle

I'm curious.

We all know that Oracle does not support running productive instances on VMWare.

So what are VMWare users doing? Are you running just your dev/qas/etc on VMWare and have prod standalone? Are you ignoring Oracle & SAP and running prod in VMWare? Or... something else?

Thanks for your feedback!

I run Sandbox and " proof of concept" instances on VMWARE.

for the rest, I use physical servers, even for DEV. Why? if you get a problem with DEV, even if it is not a production instance, you will have a hard time explaining to your developers that DEV is down because it is not supported...

for a sandbox, the explanation is easier to make!

Great answer, thanks!

Anyone else doing something different?

one of my client is running ALL of his systems with VMWARE. This includes PRD even with Oracle. He is very happy with performance and he says that he would never go back.

As I explained earlier, this is dangerous as I would never put my PRD system on an unsupported software configuration. But this is him being a cowboy! I'm more of a ranger!
