That is good to know... It would be nice if Oracle's "official documentation" made that clear. Our DBAs don't give a hoot what RedHat tells them about Oracle's support - they only care about what Oracle docs tell them :)
Also, "not a completely unsupported system" is not the same as a "completely supported system", which is what we have to provide...

Apparently Oracle would only resort to that if they could not reproduce the problem any other way and it was thought to be a problem caused by the virtualization. It's not as though running Oracle on a virtual platform results in a completely unsupported system. Nearly all of our systems are virtualized and supported.

It is sort of half-assed support: if you call about a known problem with the particular OS your guest is running, they will support it. If you call about an unknown problem, they will make you reproduce the problem on a physical server before supporting your issue...

The 64 bit guest will run the DB and the 32 bit guest the Ebusiness suite. There will be between 50-500 concurrent users. Anyone got any real world info on how this setup generally performs ?
