11.2.0.4 is a pretty old version. I would upgrade my database before changing my platform.
We have KVM there and also we have a a thing called DB System in the new ODA virtualization, in the new software releases..
We have 11.2.0.4 databases running on ODA X8-2HA and we are currently in the process of upgrading them.. We don't think 11.2.0.4 can get the best out of it, so we are upgrading.. 11.2.0.4 requires ACFS to be used in ODA.. We are not even using KVM...
So if you use KVM, 19C Upgrade will be benefitical in this context..
For KVM (virtualization), upgrading it in place and then migrating to ODA seems better actually.. (especially if the database is a mission critical one)
