VMware claims that it will Take Total ownership of Oracle DB on VMware ESXi, and they would align their own DBA to help resolving any issue related with DB. Oracle will only support for known issues or they will ask to reproduce the similar environment on native OS.
I am confused about its licensing part. Can any one clarify this?
What is support and subscription of Oracle on VMware environment. Do we have to buy a separate license for Oracle on VMware or the same physical license for oracle for x86 machine will work? What if we have oracle license on physical machine - can we get VMware DBA support for oracle related issues?
What will be the cost of the license?
What will be the SLA of support of there is any issue?
I appreciate your response. Many Thanks.
