Oracle VMSystem Partitioning: Oracle VM enables system resources to be divided into separate partitions to host applications and databases and it runs on Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 or 5. Oracle VM rests above the operating system layer.
Live Migration Capability: Move a workload to another server and VM partition for system maintenance or high availability.OS Supported:
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 update 5 & release 5RHEL 3, 4*, 5*Window Server 2003*, XP*, Windows 2008 Server SP1
* Does not support Para-virtual drivers as yet.Applications Supported:• Oracle Database 10g & 11g in single instance TODAY• Oracle RAC • Oracle Applications/Middleware metalink: 464754.1
License Pricing: Free ($0) DownloadSupport Pricing:• $599/socket/year for 1-2 Socket Server• $1199/socket/year unlimited sockets

Gabriel Consulting Group - A Positive Opinion
Dan OldsPrincipal, Gabriel Consulting GroupOracle Gets Virtual - Sept 2008
“The combination of Oracle VM and IBM’s scalable x86-based servers might be a virtualization game changer. Both of these vendors are long-time trusted data center players – which is a significant advantage over their competitors.”
“For the enterprise data center, IBM and Oracle cooperating on virtualization is a very compelling value proposition. IBM brings sophisticated high-end hardware, Oracle brings virtualization and mission critical software, and they work together on integration and other services. For a data center manager who’s interested in risk reduction and smooth implementation, what’s not to like?”

External Disk Requirements and Guidelines for Oracle VMExternal General Storage RequirementsStore image files on external storage to enable Live Migration. Disk technology can be SAN, NAS, iSCSI
DS3200 – SAS Storage SubsystemSwitch does not allow LUNs to be shared between servers. Therefore Live Migration is not possible.
DS3300 – iSCSI Storage SubsystemRDAC multi-path I/O driver not supported with Oracle VM. Therefore, only single patch configuration.
DS3400 – Fiber Channel Storage SubsystemLUNs can be shared between servers so Live Migration is possible. RDAC multi-path I/O driver not supported with Oracle VM. Therefore, only single patch configuration.
DS4000 – All are Fiber Channel Storage SubsystemsRecommended either SAS or FC drives for best performance. SATA drives ok is I/O performance not critical.
DS6000 & DS8000 – Enterprise Storage OfferingsDevice Mapper multi-pathing method from the Linux kernel is supported with SuSE and RHEL. It is not supported with Oracle VM. Therefore, a single patch configuration is required.
N Series family – NAS offeringConnect made over the network between servers so Live Migration is possible. Network interface bonding may be used with Shared N Series storage to provide multi-path patch support with Oracle VM.

Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) - Simplified
Does IBM support OEL?Yes, System x provides server & storage
device support for OEL customers
Oracle provides the support for OEL
IBM & Oracle can easily transfer supports calls to each other’s support team
IBM continues to support Red Hat and Novell SLES, and provides an additional level of certification and support due to their large shares of the Linux marketIBM System x continues to work closely with Oracle and evaluate additional support options as the market evolves
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 - Oracle distribution of Red Hat RHEL4Does not run on System p, i, z – Supports System x x86/x64 processors only
Unbreakable Linux - Oracle support program for OELOracle provides OEL patches, updates, full support
