virtualization or no-virtualization

chijarJan 23 2014 — edited Jan 23 2014

Dear all.

We must to install 2 databases (10.2.0.1 and 10.2.0.5) : Test and production. Both OLTP and no more than 200 Gb each one. Obviusly Prod environment will be configured in archive log, and test in noarchive log.

But we have a doubt about this:

- We will receive a server with the following resources:

  • 16 gb RAM
  • Xeon Processor 2.66 GHZ Quad Core
  • 500 Gb storage.

In order to get the most reliable configuration what option do you recommend?

  1. Install Solaris 10 OS, next install the Oracle Software and the 2 databases. or
  2. Install Solaris 10 OS, virtualization software, create two virtual machines, two oracle SW installations and finally each database in each VM ??

I would like to get a configuration where the production environment performance cannot be affected by the test environment.

What do you think ??

thank you for your responses.
