To increase the speed to do the following "tuning":
- The kernel is replaced with the nucleus from Oracle (Oracle Enterprise Linux Kernel 2.6.32.100);
- As a SCSI-controllers are used paravirtualizirovanye SCSI-controllers and drivers from VMWare (pvscsi);
- The type of network interfaces - also the most productive paravirtual NIC (vmxnet3);
- Paravirtualizirovanye drivers are installed in a VM;
- Drives (u01 and u02) are aligned at the cluster file system VMFS;
- After installing the software virtual disks were defragmented;
- Stopped the service is not required to run from the Oracle.

All this ensures high performance of Oracle in a virtual environment VMWare!
