Paravirtualized VM running on my IBM T43 laptop

By rich.naszcyniec on January 4, 2008 1:22 PM

I am glad to report that I now have the Oracle VM software running a virtual Oracle Linux R4 update 5 guest running within a domain.  It would be nice to say that I pulled this off via some smarts unique to me but that would be a lie.  The folks at Oracle have released several paravirtualized guests which I downloaded from this site.  Since my IBM T43 laptop is pre-dual-core technology I can't use hardware virtualization.  Bummer since I didn't have enough time to figure out how to create a paravirtualized guest image on my own.  Now I can just download it and avoid that work which is nice.  Virtualization is really convenient for me since I want to be able to switch between environments for:

  • Siebel CRM instance using Oracle 10g DB
  • Oracle SOA Suite with BI Publisher, AIA, and Oracle 10g DB
  • Oracle 11G DB and Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Technology Previews
I may also look at keeping a super slim domain running concurrently to serve up a web content, host a subversion server, and perhaps a wiki.  Not sure about the multiple domains running at the same time though.
