Summary

You plan to use VMware with SAP Products with the Oracle Database.

Other terms

VMware, Linux, Windows, RAC
Reason and Prerequisites

For SAP with Oracle in VMware virtualized environments please consider the following prerequisites:
•Oracle (Single Instance) 10.2.0.4 and higher (no Oracle 10.2.0.2, no Oracle 10.2.0.3, no Oracle 9.2.x)
•Oracle (Single Instance) 11.2.0.1 and higher
•RAC 11.2.0.2 and higher
•minimum recommended Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2008
•VMware ESX 3.5 and higher will be supported (includes VMware vSpere v4)
•Every customer opening SAP support calls needs to clearly signal in the first line of the message text that they are using a virtualized environment using VMware.
Solution

Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized environments. Oracle Support will assist customers running Oracle databases on VMware in the following manner: Oracle will only provide support for issues that either are known to occur on the native OS, or can be demonstrated not to be as a result of running on VMware.

If a problem is a known Oracle issue, Oracle Support will recommend the appropriate solution on the native OS. If that solution does not work in the VMware virtualized environment, the customer will be referred to VMware for support. When the customer can demonstrate that the Oracle solution does not work when running on the native OS, Oracle will resume support, including logging a bug with Oracle Development for investigation if required.

If the problem is determined not to be a known Oracle issue, the customer will be referred to VMware for support. When the customer can demonstrate that the issue occurs when running on the native OS, Oracle will resume support, including logging a bug with Oracle Development for investigation if required.

For Oracle RAC, Oracle will only accept support requests as described in this note on Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 and later releases.

The above solution description is in line with the context of
MOS (My Oracle Support) Note 249212.1.

2.SAP на SQL тоже достаточно редкий вариантик

1.Под VMware уже крутится порядка 20 физических серверов, и около 100 виртуальных, так что Hyper-V не вариант

Dear ..... ,

you are welcome.

As far as I can understand your NW installation will take place
on Windows Server 2012/Oracle.

Note 1752767 indicates :

As soon as an SAP product is released on Windows Server 2012, you will
find this information in the Product Availability Matrix (PAM), which
is available at http://service.sap.com/pam.

Refer to the PAM to clarify whether your database and SAP system are supported on Windows Server 2012.

Now, looking at the /PAM :

EHP5 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/Oracle 10.2-11.2 are only supported on
Windows Server 2008/2008R2 releases, not on Windows Server 2012.

Windows Server 2012 was released just a few month ago,
recently have been released for MSSQLServer and MaxDB, it is not
yet released for Oracle DB, we expect it to be released at the end of 2013.

Once it will released, the SW will also made available.

по привычке солярку+оракл ставят - и получают биг фан, иногда даже уже на этапе инсталляции.

Ну раз такое дело - тогда гипервизор мы не выбираем. Варианта два - 2008/2012 и или оракл или mssql.
