Hi Snehal,

SAP supports two virtualization solutions: VMware vsphere (as mentioned by Matthias) and Microsoft Hyper-V.

For Oracle as database, Oracle only supports VMware vshpere, there is no support statement for Hyper-V so far. For Hyper-V support from Oracle, see SAP Note 1329848.

Request you to check the latest version on SAP note mentioned above.

Hope this helps.

Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized environments.

Still Some Customers are using .Is it Advisable to use VM?

One more option proposed by partner:

All  DEV/QAS servers for portal,BI,Solman on single server without any VM on Single is Advisable?
