Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) Support on VMware Clouds
As 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.
Please reach out to your VMware representative for any clarifications on this guidance.
