MinIO – the Object Storage on VMware Cloud Foundation with Tanzu using the vSAN Data Peristence platform
Mittwoch, Dezember 16th, 2020Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) – Support on VMware Clouds
Montag, Dezember 14th, 2020As of December 9th 2020 VMware recommends that anyone currently running OR planning to run, an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) in a VMware Cloud environment reach out to Oracle Corporation for any Oracle support related matters with RAC on our cloud platform
Key points to keep in mind …
1) This guidance does NOT relate to or affect the technical feasibility of running Oracle RAC or the licensing of Oracle RAC in a VMware Cloud environment
2) This guidance does NOT pertain to running Oracle RAC in an on-premises VMware Software Defined Data Center as that remains unaffected. More on the Oracle on VMware Support Metalink Note 249212.1 can be found here
3) This guidance is based on recent changes to the “Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) Support on Third-Party Clouds – An Overview and Clarification – Revision 2020.06.14” Oracle document
