Hi Nicola,

CPU pinning granted by oVirt is not a supported method to apply hardware-partitioning for Oracle products on top of VMs.

The only supported method/solution is available on Oracle VM Server. You can see further details at:

Correct.

But very arguable from a technological point of view (in my opinion of course).

I don't see differences in what you have to do in Oracle VM to get cpu pinning and "accepted" hard-partitioning (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/ovm-hardpart-168217.pdf referred in the linked pdf above), from what you can do in vSphere, oVirt or RHV to get the same result:

eg

oVirt:

RHV:

vSphere 5.1

vSphere 6.0

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-3D5F6146-5F9C-46BC-B1D3-DCA856E98137.html

Not so fair in my opinion.
