Hi Matthias -
Sounds like your Oracle is running on Red Hat Linux, and you are going
to have those system(s) as the "guest" VM O/S, but you didn't mention
what the "host" (physical) O/S was. All I can say is things worked
well
for me w/ VMWare's "VM Server" product to run Windows virtually hosted
on a Linux box, but didn't work to well to run Linux virtually on a
Windows
physical box -- it was really slow. I ran Oracle on neither of these
virtual machines.
But if you're going to host your Linux O/S, including an Oracle
installation
running under it, and put all that on a Windows box, I'd be ready for
problems.
Just my $0.02 and limited experience.
