Oracle VM Reviews

I mostly use it on a personal computer for multiple services like databases. However, I do not run all of them at the same time. I run the one that is needed at the moment, and then I work on an application that uses this exact database or this exact environment.

The simplicity is a strong point. It is easy to start working with and has a very good implementation. The functions are basic yet effective. Moreover, it is easy to copy or clone one Oracle workstation to another.

I use this for virtualization. Suppose I am acquiring hardware with high cores and high memory. For example, consider getting physical hardware with 16 cores and specific memory. Suppose a database requires two to four cores and a certain amount of memory. I create one logical domain on top of the physical domain and install that particular product on it. 

If I want to take it to the next level, imagine creating a logical domain of 16 cores with 256 gigabytes of memory. On top of that, I would install the type one Solaris Zones for other virtualization. On the physical level, I have a virtualized and logical domain with Zones on it for the other virtualization of different systems.

Oracle VM seems like normal physical hardware, however, it's logical. Suppose I install systems on physical hardware. If there is an issue with the operating system running on top of it, there's no primary and secondary domain, rather segregated I/Os, disks, memory, everything assigned to a logical domain. If one control or service domain is down, the logical domain remains up. That's a main advantage, however, it requires expertise. I can dynamically adjust resources—it's stable and offers virtual functions. While Oracle VM was once more popular, Linux is now more common because Oracle VM uses Oracle Solaris OS.

We are working with Oracle VM and Oracle OLVM.

We have used both Oracle VM and Oracle OLVM. It has been four or five years since we started using these solutions.

Both products are from Oracle.

We mostly use the solution for Oracle products, middleware, and databases.

Oracle VM is an alternative solution for VMware and ESXi and is a low-cost proposition. Oracle VM is free in my facility.

The solution can be used for many different workloads, such as Windows and Linux. Only VMware offers that level of differentiation from a product compatibility perspective.

I was using it for my project work. Our product, where I was working, needed support in Oracle VM, so I was trying to explore how our product could be used on top of Oracle VM. It was primarily to support our product on Oracle VM. That is mostly the use case I was trying for.

Our product had several issues with post-migration. The keys in our disk storage were not operating properly for writing the I/O, which was a problem. It was not functioning correctly, which is why we could not use it. I was not attempting to use any specific features.

We use the solution to deliver the correct license validation for the Oracle database. They advised us to use the Oracle VM for some environments.

VMware is user-friendly, with clear integration and detailed migration.

We primarily use it in our PCI industry solutions and for Oracle middleware, which connects applications to Oracle databases and provides web services.

The product's most valuable feature is the ability to run multiple instances of the same product in testing environments before moving them to production.
