Hi,
Well after about 2 years of running Oracle on ESX without any major problem/issue. We now have a trouble that our DBA is rushing to fix... And since it's a real problem this time Oracle too is having problem finding something.. And she did get the dreaded: Well it's on a Vm server, recreate the problem on a physical then we will talk to you again... 
It's a patch that wont install on that server but install ok on 4 other server (all virtual)... So she and I really doubt it's a vm issue.....
This lack of support from vendor will eventually kill ESX for production server. I have the same type of question/problem with my virtual Exchange. On the exchange/microsoft front, at least the SVVP is suppose to give us support but experience tell us that it's not that easy. http://communities.vmware.com/thread/207283
I was wondering if someone figured out a way to have better support from Oracle?
thanks
