    We have business requirement to migrate this Spectrum Control from VMmare  Vshere to Oracle Linux KVM

    Here is  to following platform where wanted to migrate from existing VMware platform. 
    1) Oracle 8.10
    2) Ovirt engines are on Version 4.5.5-1.20.el8 (PROD)

    We wanted IBM to qualify Oracle Linux KVM and provide the migration procedure to migrate. 

    and also we wanted to check the feasibility to use PostgreSQL DB  instead of DB2 version and IBM supports  that platform.

    Some more inputs received on this idea.

     

    ----------------------

    Industry is looking for OLVM as the alternative on-prem solution for VMware.

    And OLVM has equivalent capability like VMware which runs on Linux kernel and support all databases solutions in industry including DB2.
