Hello,
I began testing Oracle (11g) on VMware (ESXi 5.0 Update 1) and comparing performance with a physical server.
Virtual machine is configured per VMware best practise for Oracle (paravirtual SCSI controllers, disks separation).
However physical server outperform a VM in transactions per second and response time.
Use the same storage array.
I will apreciate any advices/tips/recommendations from users who have experience with Oracle on VMWare.
Thank you in advance.
