Dear Oracle Server Experts,
We have 2 Sun Fire servers running Solaris 10 (x86) with the following CPU specifications in my organization:
Sun Fire X2200 M2 with Quad Core Processor
Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2376 CPU 1
Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2376 CPU 2
8GB RAM
Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X4100 M2
Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2356 CPU 1
Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2356 CPU 2
16GB RAM
I have recently ported both of these servers onto a VMWare VCenter Server with the following specifications:
VCenter Server, 5.1.0, 799731
Pentium II CPU socket #0
VCenter Server, 5.0.0, 623373
Pentium ® Pro CPU socket #0
Pentium ® Pro CPU socket #1
The VM processors appear to be significantly less than those on the original servers but I am not familiar or could not locate relevant hardware benchmark comparison between them. Could anyone provide advice / document referrals on their comparable differences in order to determine the feasibility on using them in a production environment.
Your advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
George
