Re: oracle and vmware

Hello,

Thank you all for your responses.

The primary problem is that our "test" environment is down 95% of the time, because of cross usage for maintenance, patch, tests etc.

So ideally having a second (3rd, nth..) virtualized environment for testing would be the ideal solution as it would help each division to test their feature without interfering with each others.

Obviously I don't hope to have a perfect replica of such a machine, but I wonder how easy it is to strip down the hardware to a point which is virtualisation-capable.

I must say I have no idea on what it takes to serve a 1 Terabyte Oracle database....
