I am about to purchase a Sun Fire X4440 with 4 quad CPUs, 64GB, 8x146GB disks (decided it was better to go for CPU and memory over the X4240 with 2 quad CPUs, 32GB, 16x146GB disks) to run several databases for teaching purposes (University), but the problem is that some of there databases are not available for (Open)Solaris.
My plan is to run to virtual systems on top of (Open)Solaris - Oracle 11g on linux in a xVM or VirtualBox - DB2 on Windows in a xVM or VirtualBox - MySQL in a zone (Open)Solaris - Postgres in a zone (Open)Solaris My questions is there any reason why Oracle/DB2 will not run very well on a virtual system, since memory/CPU should not be a problem. I will naturally move all to (Open)Solaris in the end, but I want to see if the above would work otherwise I will have to go for different hardware.
