Oracle

Oracle VM

Oracle VM (2.2.1) is based on the RedHat/OEL kernel 5.3. This means that all hardware approved for use with the 2.6.18-128 kernel should also work with Oracle VM. Although Oracle does not certify hardware, there is so-called Oracle Validated (tested) hardware on which the software definitely runs:

• http://linux.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=102:1:2013520172379713

The compatibility lists provided by Thomas-Krenn directly indicate the tested kernel version and can therefore serve as a reference.

RedHat

VMware

Xen

There is no direct list of qualified hardware for the "Open Source" Xen. Since each Linux distribution maintains its own Xen packages and updates, hardware support should be checked directly with the respective distribution.

Example of Debian: Debian Xen
