Supported Non-Oracle Virtualization and Partitioning Technologies for Oracle Fusion Middleware Including Pre-Acquisition BEA Product Releases


This page contains certification information on supported non-Oracle virtualization and partitioning technologies for Oracle Fusion Middleware and pre-acquisition BEA product releases.

Note: If an Operating System (OS) vendor releases a newer OS version, along with a complimenting virtualization/partitioning technology, the support of this new combination depends on the following:

  • The new OS should be certified by Oracle Fusion Middleware. For supported configurations information (e.g. details on OS version, processor, JDK, database, browser), please refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported Systems Configurations.
  • The new OS plus the virtualization/partitioning solution is guaranteed by the appropriate hardware vendor to be backward compatible to the version listed in the tables below.

The following sections identify the supported non-Oracle virtualization/partitioning technologies for Oracle Fusion Middleware and pre-acquisition BEA product releases.

Note 3:

Support For Sun Solaris 10 In Multi-Zone Operation

Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Fusion Middleware components (for example, Oracle Portal and Oracle SOA Suite) that are running on top of WebLogic Server can run in multiple zones of a Sun Solaris 10 system, with some limitations:

  1. The use of WebLogic Server Whole Server Migration (automated or manual) is not supported for use with Solaris non-global zones and shared IP (within the non-global zones).  This is due to the potential conflict between the IP address that a node manager is listening on and the IP addresses that the WebLogic Server managed servers are configured with.
  2. The product must be installed and configured to accommodate the Solaris Zones feature, per the following procedure:
    1. During the installation of WebLogic Server, specify a directory to which all zones will have access.
      • NOTE: Oracle strongly recommends this step so you can avoid installing WebLogic Server in the default root file system. If WebLogic Server is installed in the default root, all zones will require write access to root and such widespread write access is not recommended.
    2. Define a separate WebLogic Server domain for each zone so that the log files for each zone can go to a different location. If you choose, you can also configure a cluster to work across multiple zones as long as you provide read, write, and execute permissions to the domain directory to all the Non-Global zones participating in the cluster.
