Oracle should work, not comparably well to bare metal though. There's
also licensing issues with running it in that type of setup. You'll
want to try before buying Oracle if that's possible. Put some
pressure on them, they used to put out Solaris version first but gave
into the hype. As for DB2, I thought there was a linux version. Have
you checked out BrandZ as well, you might be able to get it running
under BrandZ Linux Containers (Zones).

I am about to purchase a Sun Fire X4440 with 4 quad CPUs, 64GB,

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.
Thanks
