Migration R12.2 to new os

[satish]

Hi Erman,

Based on your current landscape:

EBS: R12.2.5
DB: 2 node Oracle RAC 19.17
App Tier: 2 nodes with shared APPL_TOP
OS: RHEL 7.9
Infrastructure: 4 physical servers

We are planning to migrate to fusion. After migration also, We want to continue existing R12.2 environment for 2 years to run some reports for very limited users.

All 4 servers reached end of life.

Now we want to migrate to a vm and use any free operating system instead of RHEL. can you please share your ideas/recommendations?

Thanks,
Satish

You can use Oracle Linux for hosting this.
You can also use Oracle Linux KVM for the virtualization.

Oracle Linux is free to use. If you need vendor support, you can purchase it, but if you don't need it, you can use Oracle Linux freely.
