Select 32 bit VM on 64 bit System

883772Aug 22 2011 — edited Aug 25 2011
Hello,

I'm developping an application which needs a 32-Bit VM because the use of a native 3rd party library which only supports 32-Bit. On a 64-Bit system which installed 32 and 64-Bit JRE I tried using the -d32 switch to force the use of the 32-Bit JRE. But I get the following error message:

C:\Users\tom>java -d32 -version
Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM.
Please install the desired version.

But the following works:

C:\Users\tom>java -version
java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)

and this also:

C:\Users\tom>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -d32 -version
java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)

I tried reinstalling the JREs but it doesn't help. So, why does'n the launcher find the 32-Bit JRE? Why doesn't the switch work as described ([http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/hotspotfaq-138619.html#64bit_selection])?

Can't show you any documentation but i've run both SE1 and EE on VMware without problems. Can't tell if all functionality works on it but the basic ones i used worked.
Absolutley it is.

Have you heard of BIC2GO ?

When I was in OCS we used to cart round a BIC2GO image to help us get up and running when doing POC's with customer data, plug the VMWare into customer network and the client can access all presentation services over there network.

Hi,

we have an OBISE1 installed on an Windows XP (OBISE1 is supported only in Windows) on VMWare.
On VMWare you can install virual machines with linux and windows OSs.
It doesn't matter if is an phisical or virtual machine. The OS matters.

From what I understand, BIC2GO is for development/demo purposes.

My question is for running OBI EE on vmware for the production instance.

OBIEE supported platforms doc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf

If it doesn't specify it then by inference you could say it's not supported. Best to raise an SR to clarify with Oracle if you have to be certain.

As others have said, it certainly works on VMWare - but that's not the same as supported :)
Beat me to it ! , page 30 on that doc link above
