We continue to have problems with this image. Everything appears to be up and running, but the Database has errors (corrupted) and will not start properly. We've tried it withing the Vbox environment on Windows Server 2008 64 bit, on Windows Server 2003 32-bit, Windows XP and on Oracle VM. The machines had either Intel or AMD processors.
The review for Oracle VM VirtualBox has not been completed yet, but it was tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below.

VirtualBox is a community effort backed by a dedicated company: everyone is encouraged to contribute while Oracle ensures the product always meets professional quality criteria.
Features and highlights
Oracle VirtualBox is a cross-platform virtualization application. It installs on your existing Intel or AMD-based computers, whether they are running Windows, Mac, Linux or Solaris operating systems. VirtualBox can create and run a 'guest' operating system (virtual machine) in a window of the host operating system. The virtual machine provides a self-contained environment in which to experiment with new software without risking damaging changes to the host operating system. In January 2010, Oracle Corporation acquired Sun and rebranded VirtualBox as Oracle VM VirtualBox. So the software can be installed via the operating system's package manager. Feb 06, 2013 3.1. Supported Guest Operating Systems. Because Oracle VM VirtualBox is designed to provide a generic virtualization environment for x86 systems, it can run operating systems (OSes) of any kind. However, Oracle VM VirtualBox focuses on the following guest systems: Windows NT 4.0: Fully supports all versions, editions, and service packs.
- Modular design
- Supports Windows virtual boxes
- Supports Linux virtual boxes
- Comes shipped with configuration for various operating systems

5.1 Oracle VM Server for x86 Supported Guest Operating Systems
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
Guest Operating System | HVM 32-bit | HVM 64-bit |
|---|---|---|
Oracle Linux Release 7.x | N/A | Yes |
Oracle Linux Release 6.x | Yes | Yes |
Oracle Linux Release 5.x | Yes | Yes |
Oracle Linux Release 4.x | Yes | Yes |

CentOS 6.x | Yes | Yes |
CentOS 5.x | Yes | Yes |
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.x | No | Yes |
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 or later | No | Yes |
Additional support information for HVM-supported Linux guest operating systems is as follows:
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.

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-xenvariant of the kernel. Oracle Linux 5.x also includes the PV drivers inkernel-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-xenUvariant 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:
Install the operating system and upgrade to the
3.0.31-0.9kernel version.Shutdown the virtual machine.
In Oracle VM Manager, set the domain type for the virtual machine to
Xen PVM.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
Guest Operating System | PVHVM 32-bit | HVM 32-bit | PVHVM 64-bit | HVM 64-bit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Oracle Solaris 11 | N/A | N/A | Yes | N/A |
Oracle Solaris 10 | Yes | N/A | Yes | N/A |
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.
