I'm interested in folks experience with a combination of Oracle 11g running on Oracle Linux 4.7 in a VMWare container. &nbsp;We are considering running with this architecture in production but I'm concerned that Oracle would prefer not to support VMWare. &nbsp;We will only be running one VM container per server. &nbsp;I'm not looking to virtualize my entire production environment on to one giant server, I will be running one container per server. &nbsp;I'm looking to use VMWare as a psuedo cluster set up. &nbsp;Should one of my servers (physical hardware) fail I would then use VMotion to move the virtual container to another server. &nbsp;Has anybody had any experience with this type of setup?
