Hi Grzegorz,
There is another option- use zones on Solaris. When choosing the ESX is still a problem with licenses, you need license for entire physical machine - if this is a problem for you:)

Hi,
 finally got some pc trash working, which is Quad core 2 Q6600 , 8GB RAM, 2x 1TB 7200 64MB cache SATA2 Disks. Wondering which virtualization method to choose:

1. Oracle VM Pros: -Xen (bare metal virtualization)
   • templates
   • stick with Oracle
     • already downloaded templates :)

Cons:
- need additional pc for Oracle VM Manager

2. ESX
Pros:
- mature technology

• popular one

Cons:
- need additional pc for ESX management (not an option with 1 pc)

3. Just some Linux disto with Oracle Vbox . Pros:
-easy

Cons:
- dont see any other

4. Just some Linux disto with VMware
-generaly same as Oracle VBOX

My goal is to made

• 2 node 10.2.0.X RAC
• 2 node 11.2.0.X RAC
• 11.2.0.X single with Logical/Physical Standby
• 10.2.0.X single with Logical/Physical Standby

of course not running this parallel :).

And most important question , should I choose Solaris x86 as guest system because
I've noticed all Oracle Hackers are using Solaris because of DTrace :) and mpstat
Looks like DTrace is a must have when trying to go deep into internals is that right ?
