Netweaver 7.4 with Oracle

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm currently trying an installation of NW 7.4 running an Oracle DB on a Linux virtual machine. I have scanned through the SMP looking for proper installation guides and software, but it seems like in can only be done if NW uses Sybase, HANA or MaxDB.

What options do I have if i want to succeed with NW on Oracle?

Thanking you in advance,

Nish

I am able to see the installation guide for systems based on NW7.4 for Oracle on Linux

Hello Nish,

the main problem seems to be that Oracle is reluctant to support virtual environments.
For a start have look at these SAP notes:

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1173954
Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized environments. Oracle Support will assist customers running Oracle databases on VMware in the following manner: Oracle will only provide support for issues that either are known to occur on the native OS, or can be demonstrated not to be as a result of running on VMware.

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1426182
Oracle is not certifying any of its products on XEN or KVM virtualized environments. XEN and KVM virtualized environments on the Linux platform impact critical runtime related areas for the Oracle Database such as process scheduling, network and disk IO access.
