Hi all
As refugees of the Itanium-Oracle smackdown, we are now evaluating new platforms and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the following for production use:
- RedHat 4 or 5

Hi all
As refugees of the Itanium-Oracle smackdown, we are now evaluating new platforms and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the following for production use:
- RedHat 4 or 5
- Solaris 10 x86
We'd want to run instances from 9.2.0.6 thru to 11.2 on it, and 12g when it comes out , so ideally RH4 or Sol10 would let us run a single certified OS without resorting to virtualisation.
For that matter, does anyone consider Oracle VM (x86, not Solaris) production ready ?
We are a VMWare shop on the windows side, but the lack of hard partitioning for Oracle licensing poses some problems there.
Thanks in advance for any comments-
