before i begin I am just curious for the reason on why Oraclce cant be virtualized for DLP, I have seen the slides and attended the training and know it it not officially supported.
Oracle is approved in a vmware enviroment and has been for a while, can some one explain why or why not this is allowed to virtualized.
here is a link to the this, http://www.vmware.com/solutions/partners/alliances/oracle-vmware-support.html
With VMware offering if HA and vMotion, and a ton of other reasons this allows for a true redundancy, not to even mention Ciscoc UCS and 10 gig backbones now the infrastrucutre is there. I can list more reasons why I am just looking for a logical answer why it isnt supported.
