Has anybody else had experience moving an Oracle 9i database to a
virtual server? We moved from a Windows 2k HP server to a Virtual
Server running Windows 2k and the same configuration as we had before.
But our batch jobs are running much slower (from 65 min - 174 minutes).
Users have complained about slower responses also. If you look at the
VMWare console, it doesn't appear that we are using much of our memory
or CPU. My boss has talked with a couple of other Oracle DBAs and they
recommend never using virtual servers for a production Oracle database.
Would like to hear others experiences using virtual servers.
