Oracle on VM

Oracle Gurus,

Six months ago our organization standardized on Oracle as a DBMS. The managerial finger was pointed at me and another Systems Programmer to be Oracle DBAs.

No mention was made of a preferred platform, although Oracle for Netware and AIX (IBM RS/6000) were purchased at that time. Both platforms seem to work well with AIX being much more robust, and better able to handle the heavy transaction load we eventually expect. We felt that we were getting a good feel for each of these platforms when management said that Oracle will (may) run on an IBM 3090 mainframe under VM. Major twist! :-(

We have been caught with our proverbial pants down. I have heard some negative statements about Oracle running on VM. Any information would be extremely helpful and greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim Truax
