Oracle VM and Mixed Platform Architectures
Oracle E-Business Suite (11i and R12) supports the mixing of platforms on its application and database tiers. In cases where the database tier is on a platform that is only supported by the Oracle Database, this is known as a 'Database Tier Only' (or a 'split tier configuration') certified platform. An example of this is an EBS 11i architecture where the application tier is on Linux x86 (32-bit) and the database tier runs Linux x86-64 (64-bit).
In cases where EBS and the Oracle Database versions are individually certified with Oracle VM on the application and database tiers, the mixing of platforms running Oracle VM with EBS is fully supported.
For example, 11i customers running OVM/Linux x86 on the application tier and the Oracle Database 10gR2 on the database tier running OVM/Linux x86-64 are on a supported configuration. Another example of a supported OVM Mixed Platform Architecture is the application tier running Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) with a Windows PV driver and the Database (10gR2 or 11gR1) on OVM/Linux x86-64.
Customers must review the EBS and Database Oracle VM support information for certified combinations, along with known issues and limitations pertaining to each product.
