Oracle Linux Containers, KVM, and XEN Support Question?

Rucadulu2Jun 13 2014 — edited Jun 16 2014

Does Oracle Support its products (DB's, APPS, etc.) running on Oracle Linux Containers ?

I understand Oracle Supports running KVM and XEN hypervisors on Oracle Linux and that it does NOT support Oracle DB's, APPS, etc. running in a guest OS running on KVM or XEN on a Oracle linux host.  However, does Oracle support running Oracle Linux Guests in KVM or XEN on an Oracle Linux Host ?

I am curious as to why Oracle will Support it DB's APPS etc. in OracleVM which is an Oracle custom XEN hypervisor but not in the Standard XEN hypervisor that comes with Oracle Linux? Is there really that much different between the two products outside of the GUI interfaces used to manage each?

Also what is Oracle's Support policies for running Oracle Linux, DB's APPS, etc. in Oracle VirtualBox ?

Don't know if it helps, the HCL entry for the Dell PE6650 mentions something that RAID needs to be disabled:

I don't know whether this will help but if you Google for perc2sol.zip you will find a PERC 3 driver for Solaris 7 x86 - I haven't tested whether this driver will work on 9, as I haven't got a box with a PERC 3 lying around. The zip includes a driver disk for use during OS installation.
