    Hi

    I have installed a single instance oracle (not oracle RAC just one node ) on vmware but just want to know what is vmware recommend for install an oracle production on a vm in cluster some questions such as :

    Is there any issue due vmotion for that vm ?

    Is that recommend to fix this machine on a specific host ?

    .

    .

    .

    actually I read some document about that but could not find specific answer about that ?

    No idea, haven’t read it cover to cover - did you find any mention in the document?

    A quick google search took me to these:

    Both documents say vMotion is fine, if it was when they were written then it would be now too. Perhaps you need to setup a proof of concept and try it for yourself.
