I don't think the underlying hardware beneath RHEL matters. I'd be reluctant to run Oracle as a VM, unless it's either A very low end database doing minimal work, or a dev environment. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Erling Ringen Elvsrud Sent: Wednesday, 15 July 2009 6:14 p.m. To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Is this sysstem supported by RHEL Server? We are going to try oracle on a virtual machine on VMware. This system has been assigned 4 virtual CPUs and I wonder if this is supported by RHEL Server (max 2 cpu-sockets). /proc/cpuinfo is missing 'physical_id' which identifies each phsyical CPU if I have understood it correctly. So do you think this system is supported?
