'''Oracle VM''' is the server [[virtualization]] offerings from [[Oracle]] that provides a fully equipped environment for better leveraging the benefits of virtualization technology. Oracle VM enables you to deploy operating systems and application software within a supported virtualization environment. Oracle VM is based on the open-source [[Xen]] [[hypervisor]] technology, features both [[Windows]] and [[Linux]] support and includes an integrated Web browser based management console. ==~~Oracle VM~~ Components== * Oracle VM Manager: web based management console to manage Oracle VM Servers. * Oracle VM Server: includes a version of [[Xen]] hypervisor technology, and the Oracle VM Agent to communicate with Oracle VM Manager for management of virtual machines. It also includes a minimized Linux kernel as [[Dom0]]. ==Resource limits== * Oracle VM Manager: Provides the user interface, which is a standard ADF ([[Application Development Framework]]) web application, to manage Oracle VM Servers. Manages virtual machine lifecycle, including creating virtual machines from installation media or from a virtual machine template, deleting, powering off, uploading, deployment and live migration of virtual machines. Manages resources, including ISO files, virtual machine templates and sharable hard disks. As of version 3.4.6, Oracle VM Server for x86 can take advantage of up to 384 CPUs (Tested) / 2048 CPUs (Designed), 6TB RAM per server and can host a maximum of 300 VM per server. <br> * Oracle VM Server: A self-contained virtualization environment designed to provide a lightweight, secure, server-based platform for running virtual machines. Oracle VM Server is based upon an updated version of the underlying Xen hypervisor technology, and includes Oracle VM Agent. VCPUs per VM: 256 (PVM) / 128 (HVM, PVHVM) VMs per server, 1 TB RAM<ref>[https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E64076_01/E99523/html/vmrns-limits.html Oracle VM Release Notes for 3.4.6]</ref> * Oracle VM Agent: Installed with Oracle VM Server. It communicates with Oracle VM Manager for management of virtual machines. ==~~See~~End ~~Also~~of life== Oracle VM Server for x86 is now in sustaining support, and will not receive patches or security fixes.
