![]() In this article, we'll go through the use case of migrating an Oracle database running on physical hardware to a VMware virtual machine using vVols. vVol datastores address the challenges of over-abstraction of virtual disks in VMFS datastores on one end, and rigidity of RDM (Raw Device Mapping) datastores on the other. ![]() VMware Virtual Volumes (vVol) is a new technology introduced in vSphere 6.0 to radically simplify storage management for vSphere admins as well as storage admins. In the past, database storage options available to Oracle DBAs for creating virtual disks were limited to either a VMFS (Virtual Machine File System) datastore, or a RDM (Raw Device Mapping) disk. VMware is a widely used virtualization platform for running Oracle databases.
