Re: [Xen-users] Oracle within Xen - any useful tips?

Hi Mike,

I think domU you mentioned in your posts is for Xen para-virtualized guest domain, right? Have you ever tried to run Oracle on a full-virtualized domain? If yhou have done so, what is the performance difference
between domUP and domUF?

I have done lots of experiments and found domUF with VBD driver only shows abount 30% performance of domUP (JBOD, RAID etc.)

Hi Gabor, we are running many Oracle products on xen 3.0.3, (including
11ij, Oracle 10g, and 10g RAC with open-iSCSI).  We have not encountered
any issues due to xen.  The biggest task to to ensure the domU OS
image / partition contains all the required rpm's, semaphore settings,
etc..  Performance is actually quite good.  I don't believe, however,
that Oracle has certified it's products against Xen; keep that in mind
if the event you have to work with Oracle support.

Hi Xen users,



I was wondering if anybody out there has experience with running
Oracle within Xen. Any major issues? What should we worry about if
we’d like to try?



Thanks in advance.

Gábor Nyers
