The reason I ask is that the number of entries in /proc/cpuinfo can vary a lot due to hyperthreading, multi core, and multi CPU. For example a 2 CPU server with 8 cores total is supported by RHEL Server physical_id will be 1 and 0. processor is 0-7. So to rephrase my question: Is a virtual server supported by RHEL Server if the physical host has 4 physical CPU-sockets and the virtual server is assigned 4 virtual CPUs? (with the /proc/cpuinfo posted earlier which indicates nothing about the number of physical cpus only concurrent threads of execution). What if the virtual host has 1 virtual CPU, but the physical host has 4 physical cpu-sockets? > 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. This is not a great concern for me which have only Linux responsibilty, I have also alredy asked about this and the decision makers claim performance should be good enough for the application.
