IвЂ™m trying to install OVM Manager 3.2.8 and having an issue with step #8.

#Oracle linux virtualbox template how to

In the part 2 of this post IвЂ™ll explain how to configure VM Manager, with some screenshots prepared.ДЄll Virtualization documentation for version 3.2: In the disk partitioning section remember to use only one disk, leaving the other(s) untouched вЂ“ no partitions on it(them).Дuring installation you will have to provide passwords for the agent and root, remember them and wait for the installation to complete.ДЄll is installed now, but we are not even close to start creating virtual machines. The installation is quite easy and straight forward, just follow the defaults and fill up the blanks. Then lets install VMServer, insert the previously burned CD in your machine and boot it up. Take note as well of the URL provided to access the console later and wait for the installation to complete. I chose option вЂњ 1: SimpleвЂќ it will install everything, including MySQL, this way memory requirements are only 1.5GB of RAM.Д«y selecting вЂњ 2: StandardвЂќ we can use another database like XE or SE, which needs to be previouslt installed and the machine will require at least 4GB RAM.Дuring installation you will have to provide passwords to connect via Web Browser, remember them. #Wait for this to finish and then proceed with the instaler

Using Virtual box console we add the VM MANAGER ISO image to the Virtual machine with Linux installed, thenВ configure Oracle Public YUM, see how here.ДЄs root user we mount the ISO image and install some required packages and prepare the system running the createOracle.sh script, which will configure users, permissions, OS limits and firewall.

VM SERVER: Oracle VM Server 3.2.6 for x86_64 (64 bit) вЂ“BURN a CD with this one.

I downloaded the following packages (always use the latest version):

Now back to the installation, go to this link and download the software, you may need to create an account to access the вЂњOracle Software Delivery CloudвЂќ.

#Oracle linux virtualbox template update

Oracle Linux 5 update 9 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (2.6.39) This template contains the following software components :

I did an installation from scratch using Oracle Enterprise Linux 6, alternatively you can download the вЂњVirtualBox Template for Oracle VM ManagerвЂќ from Oracle that includes everything preconfigured (I havenвЂ™t tested it).ДЇollow this link with instructions and details. Note 2: As an alternative you can use external storage, like those disk boxes that offer iSCSI or NFS (or another server sharing its disk like FreeNAS), if you have external storage the VM server machine needs only 1 HDD.

Note: the second disk has to be raw, no partitions in it. Yes, we need at least 2 HDD, one used as the installation/boot disk, the other one will be used as local storage for VMs. This means that you can install as many VMs as your memory support. The more memory you have the better because OVM does not support memory overcommitment.

OVM needs 2 main components, one is the VM server, which will host the Virtual Machines and a Management console ( VM Manager), which requires a separate server (can be a virtual machine).ДЇor VM MANAGER I will use a Virtual Box machine as follows.ДЇor the VM server I will be using a quad-core machine with 2 hard drives. Requirements (software, virtual hardware and real hardware)

I have been using VirtualBox on Linux for a while but I know how much power I can get using вЂњrealвЂќ hyperthreaded virtualization, so I decided to give Oracle Virtual Server a try after seeing small PCs running OVM and hosting three 11g RAC virtual nodes at Oracle university. As a DBA we do like to play with features and versions a lot, now with the release of Oracle 12c I wanted to take my virtualization system to another level рџ‰
