A template for Oracle VM VirtualBox consists of a guest operating system and any software components preinstalled on this guest OS, as well as configuration information required for deployment. The guest OS of the template is Oracle Linux 5. The preinstalled software components include Oracle VM Manager 3. Using it in production is not supported. As for the other software prerequisites, your system might require you to install some additional packages before starting the installation of Oracle VM VirtualBox.
Also, make sure that your hardware is capable of running the template's virtual machine. In particular, the virtual machine is preconfigured with 4 GB of RAM for optimal running of the software. Therefore, Oracle VM VirtualBox must be able to allocate this amount of memory every time the virtual machine is started. Download the. During this process, you'll be able to change the suggested settings of the virtual machine being imported, and then you will be asked to accept the license terms.
After the import has completed successfully, you should see the icon of the newly created virtual machine in the left pane of the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager window, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. If you select the VM's icon, its settings will be displayed in the right pane. Click the Settings button to edit the settings. For your convenience, the settings are grouped in categories. If you need, for example, to edit the network settings of the virtual machine, you can click the Network icon at the left and then go to the settings of interest on the right.
Many setting categories are further subdivided. For example, to change the number of virtual CPUs in the virtual machine, you'll need to select System in the left pane and then click the Processor tab in the right pane, as shown in Figure 2. Turning back to the network settings, it's important to note that Oracle VM VirtualBox allows you to choose between several networking modes when it comes to configuring a networking adapter plugged into the VM.
Which option you should choose depends on the requirements of the software components running on your VM. Thus, in this particular example, you have to take into account the network requirements for Oracle VM Manager.
Just as a reminder, Oracle VM Manager is a key component of the Oracle VM architecture, and it is designed for configuring and managing Oracle VM Servers, networks, and other VM-related resources that might be located on different machines on your physical network.
Also, it is important to emphasize that each Oracle VM Server must be installed on a dedicated machine. What this means in practice is that Oracle VM Manager must have a network connection to each of those VM servers' hosts. The considerations above determine the appropriate networking mode for the network adapter to be used. It's fairly obvious that the Not attached, Internal networking, and Host-only networking options are not suitable here.
Instead, you need an option that allows you to set up routing between the VM and the rest of the network. For such cases, Oracle VM VirtualBox offers the Bridged networking option, which allows you to create a virtual network interface on the guest, communicating ultimately through a physical network adapter installed on the host.
Such a virtual network interface is given its own IP address and can be accessed by other machines on your network as if it were a physical device. The VM's console appears, in which you should see the process of booting the VM into Oracle Linux, the guest operating system see Figure 3. During the first boot, you're prompted to enter the root password and the network settings.
If it fails, you'll be prompted to enter a static IP address as well as the other network-related information. Figure 3. When using the Bridged networking option, however, it's recommended to not use the built-in DHCP server, because it might conflict with other DHCP servers available in the network.
Templates come preconfigured to run the included software optimally. Please let me know if this ok with you. Thanks a lot! Comment by Cristobal Maroni December 1, Reply.

It goes through the initial steps but then locks up. Should I be pulling a different version? Any help would be appreciated! Comment by Ken Smelcer April 8, Reply. If you are more specific I might be able to understand what are you trying to achieve and what is the problem that you are facing. Is it a bare metall install or Vbox install?
If the former look at the drivers. If the latter it worked in my case look at error messages on boot. Comment by gjilevski April 8, Reply.
Thanks for the reply. My host OS is Ubuntu Everything follows your flow until after the reboot. It does the bootloader countdown and then starts the kernel. At that point it prints out just a few messages and locks up.
I double checked it! However my host OS is Windows Vista and the above 2. In my case bootstrap starts very fast and cannot even see it until slow down and shows the XEN part. I think, it could be the Ubuntu host OS. I have a bit Windows 7 setup that I tried as well using the bit VM Server , with the same result. Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

Thanks all over again. I am not sure the things that I might have done without the type of creative concepts shown by you about my subject matter. Comment by wodonga-park May 23, Reply. This is often a wonderful blog, could you be interested in going through an interview regarding just how you developed it? If so e-mail myself! Comment by website June 5, Reply.
I was extremely pleased to find this web site. I need to to thank you for ones time just for this wonderful read!! I definitely savored every part of it and I have you saved to fav to see new things on your web site.

Instead of exporting template contents during deployment, this feature exports the template file system contents, once before you begin, and then each deployment uses clones of this volume to save time and space on the storage appliance.
The following properties are used to construct the names and sizes of the volumes used for the base exported template volume and need to be updated only when using netapp flexclones because the "-" character is not allowed in volume names:. Update the following properties to configure the eth0 network for the Oracle VMs. These settings may be the same as the setting of the Hypervisors where the Oracle VMs will be started. If you have Oracle VMs spread across different Hypervisors that happen to be located in a different subnet, then you can add additional properties for the specific combination of topology type and Oracle VM host type.
The format of the additional properties is faovm. Note that ports are optional. If external ports are not specified, they are configured with the default value of Update the following properties to specify Oracle RAC database properties. Specify the following values that you collected when setting up the Oracle RAC instance in Section 2. For each of the above directory structures in Oracle Automatic Storage Management, the following must exist and can be created using asmcmd :.
Review and update, if necessary, the following properties that specify the paths for database directory objects in the database:. For most directories, their paths are relative to fusiondb. Specify a value for the fusiondb. Update the following properties for the host names of the Oracle VMs for the topologies to be deployed. If you want the HA nodes for primary and secondary Oracle VMs to also be created, set the following properties to true :. Update VM-specific properties for the Primary node.
The Primary node uses the same template as the FA node and shares the same volume. Update VM-specific properties for the Secondary node.
The Secondary node uses the same template as the FA node and shares the same volume. The BI node shares the volume with the FA node. The OHS node has its own volume. See Section 2. Optional When directed by Oracle to apply additional approved patches to Fusion Middleware, Fusion Applications, and OHS during rehydration, un-comment these properties and enter the location where the patches are stored:. You may find that the ovm-ha-deploy. You do not need to change the values of these properties.
This section lists additional deployment properties added in this release, as well as their default values. You can make changes to these properties to suit your needs and then continue with deployment. Run the faovmdeploy. This step is optional and is necessary only if you followed Step 6 in Section 3. This utility operates on all host types for which storage is created, such as ohs , fa , and idm hosts.
