5.1 Oracle VM Server for x86 Supported Guest Operating Systems

1. Oracle 11g Download 64 Bit
2. 32-bit Download

May 05, 2010 The Oracle VM server install routine automatically detects the hardware platform and installs the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit Xen hypervisor. Regardless of the hardware platform, 32-bit or 64-bit, dom0 is 32-bit. Will a 32bit dom0 meet your business requirements? Could you please let us know the business requirements re 32bit?

On Oracle VM Server for x86, guest virtual machines based on Linux and Solaris can be either Hardware Virtualized (HVM) or Hardware Virtualized with PV Drivers (PVHVM).

The following table lists support for virtual machines with an HVM domain type and a Linux operating system. Refer to the notes that follow the table for additional support information.

Table 5.1 HVM-Supported Linux Guest Operating Systems

• Download VirtualBox (Old Builds): VirtualBox. The Extension Packs in this section are released under the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License. All other binaries are released under the terms of the GPL version 2. By downloading, you agree to the terms and conditions of the respective license.
• Officially supported operating systems include 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10, Windows Server 2012, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2008, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. What versions of Oracle VM VirtualBox are available? The current version of Oracle VM VirtualBox is 6.1.0 and is the latest version since we last checked.

Additional support information for HVM-supported Linux guest operating systems is as follows:

32-bit Download

• You can create HVM guest virtual machines for Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and CentOS. However, the Xen PV drivers are included by default with the kernels. Creating PVHVM guest virtual machines is recommended for hardware virtualization to improve performance.

• The minimum required kernel version for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 is 3.0.31-0.9.

The following table lists support for virtual machines with a PVHVM domain type and a Linux operating system. Refer to the notes that follow the table for additional support information.

Table 5.2 PVHVM-Supported Linux Guest Operating Systems

Additional support information for PVHVM-supported Linux guest operating systems is as follows:

• Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and CentOS 5.x include the Xen PV drivers in the kernel-xen variant of the kernel. Oracle Linux 5.x also includes the PV drivers in kernel-uek, the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK). Creating PVHVM guest virtual machines is recommended for hardware virtualization with these kernels.

• Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server require the kernel-xenU variant of the kernel to use the PV drivers mode.

• The minimum required kernel version for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 is 3.0.31-0.9.

• To start a PVHVM guest on SLES 11, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Install the operating system and upgrade to the 3.0.31-0.9 kernel version.

  2. Shutdown the virtual machine.

  3. In Oracle VM Manager, set the domain type for the virtual machine to Xen PVM.

  4. Restart the virtual machine.

The following table lists support for virtual machines with either an HVM or a PVHVM domain type and a Solaris operating system. Refer to the notes that follow the table for additional support information.

Table 5.3 HVM and PVHVM-Supported Solaris Guest Operating Systems

Additional support information for HVM and PVHVM-supported Solaris guest operating systems is as follows:

• Oracle Solaris support begins with Solaris 10 1/13 (update 11). The Solaris 10 or Solaris 11 OS runs as a hardware virtual machine (HVM), which requires HVM support (Intel VT or AMD-V) on the underlying hardware platform. By default, Solaris 10 or Solaris 11 OS has the required PV drivers installed as part of the OS. Oracle Solaris 10 supports x86 32-bit and 64-bit architecture. 32-bit or 64-bit mode is selected at OS boot time by examining the hypervisor and the underlying hardware. Oracle Solaris 11 supports x86 64-bit architecture only.

Table 5.5 Microsoft Windows Supported Guest Operating Systems

To run Microsoft Windows guests as PVHVM-supported operating systems, you must install the Oracle VM Paravirtual Drivers for Microsoft Windows. For a full list of Microsoft Windows guest operating systems that are PVHVM-supported, see Oracle VM Paravirtual Drivers for Microsoft Windows.
