In my case that was fast, but running Java in the VM did not work anymore. With “Force Multicore” enabled more than 1 Core can be used from the Mac on the VM. In that case UTM can only use 1 core of the Mac. Everything runs very stable as long as the UTM System setting “Force Multicore” is not enabled. from Turing Software LLC (can be downloaded from the App Store) and costs $10įirst of all the good news is that I could install and run the 2 environments without any crash. I thought I’ll check that myself on what “very slow” means in terms of running an Oracle database in an emulated environment. The product UTM makes that easy as it adds a GUI on top of QEMU.Īccording lots of feedback on the internet the emulation is VERY SLOW. over VPN)Īnother potential alternative would be the emulation of x86-64 on ARM. So you need to carry the hardware with you or provide remote access to it, e.g.

running the DB-server on separate hardware (requires access to separate hardware.

runinng the DB-server VM on the Cloud (requires access to the cloud resources over the internet).

REMARK: Oracle announced to port the DB software to ARM in the future. a Consultant with an Apple Laptop to be able to run tests against Oracle databases on that Laptop. as the Oracle Database does not run on ARM, a workaround is necessary for e.g.

on Apple MacBook Pros with M1 or M2 processors). ARM architecture), it’s no longer possible to run VMs based on Intel x86-64 on Apple ARM (e.g. Since Apple moved to its own processor type (Apple Silicon, i.e.

For testing purposes many IT-people traditionally use Virtual Machines (VMs) on their Laptops (often on Oracle Virtualbox).
