Installation Pre-requisites

Hardware Requirements

Three physical servers, Two for Oracle VM Server and One Oracle VM manager.

Each physical server requires a minimum of 2 gigabytes (GB) of physical memory.

Oracle VM guest memory requirements vary for each guest operating system.

A monitor that supports resolution of 1024 x 768 to correctly display the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI)

Network Requirements

Minimum of one network interface card is required.

NOTE: It is recommended that you ensure each node contains at least three network interface cards (NICs) for Oracle installations using Oracle VM.  

NOTE:In case of iSCSI storage, it is recommended to use recommended four NICs.

Installing Oracle VM Server

Download the Oracle VM software from

Boot using the Oracle VM CD and Install Oracle VM Server software. For more details on installing Oracle VM Server please refer to

Installing Oracle VM Manager

Oracle VM Manager uses an Oracle database as a repository. Install Oracle SE (Standard Edition) or Oracle EE (Enterprise Edition) on the intended Oracle VM Manager server.

NOTE:Oracle XE (express edition) is not a supported product for Oracle VM Manager Below are the supported database repositories for Oracle VM Manager:

Oracle Database Release 10.2.0.4 or greater

Oracle Database Release 11.2.0.1 or greater For more details on pre-requisites of Oracle VM Manager Installation visit the below link

Configuring the Oracle VM Environment Configuring an Oracle VM environment includes the following:

Discovering servers

Creating and configuring multiple networks

Discovering and configuring storage

Creating a storage repository

Creating a server pool

Creating virtual machines. Login to the Oracle VM Manager using the below web address format

http://hostname: port/ovm/console

For example: http://vmmanager.bdcdb.com:7001/ovm/console

Discovering Oracle VM Servers

In the Oracle VM Manger console click the Servers and VMs tab.

Figure 1: Oracle VM Manger

Click Create Server pool from the tool bar and enter the Server pool name and virtual IP address. Select the Clustered Server Pool to enable clustering of the Oracle VM Servers within the server pool in order to enable HA.

Figure 2: Create Server pool

Select Physical disk in the storage for server pool and click Storage Location and select the Physical disk for the server pool and click OK

Figure 3: Select Physical disk in the storage

Figure 4:Select the Physical disk for the server pool

Click next to add servers to the server pool.

Creating a Storage Repository and Adding Resources A storage repository is where Oracle VM resources such as templates for virtual machine creation, virtual machine assemblies, ISO files and shared virtual disks will reside.

NOTE: A storage repository should be at least 10GB in size. In addition to this minimum size requirement, you should include enough storage space for virtual machines, templates, ISO files and other virtual machine resources. To create storage Repository

In the Oracle VM manager, click Repositories tab

Figure 7:Oracle VM manager

Click Create New Repository (plus sign icon) from the tool bar and enter the repository name and repository location. If you select physical disk as a repository location, select the appropriate server pool that the repository should reside.

Figure 8: Create New Repository

Click on select physical disk to search for the location. In the select physical disk window, select physical disk for repository and click Next.

Figure 9: Click on select physical disk to search for the location

Click next to present the Oracle VM servers to the repository.

Importing ISO resource

Pre-requisiteCreate an installation directory and copy all the operating system ISO files into the directory.

NOTE: The directory should be made available via a NFS, HTTP or FTP share.

Refer to "

To import an ISO file:

Click the Repositories tab. Select the repository where the ISO files are stored. Select ISOs in the navigation tree. Select Import ISO... button in the toolbar in the management pane.

Figure 12:Select ISOs in the navigation tree

The Import ISO dialog box is displayed.

Figure 13:  Import ISO

Provide the ISO location which is a HTTP/FTP share and Click OK.

The ISO file is then uploaded to the repository as shown below.

Creating VNICs VNICs) can be used by the virtual machines as network cards. A VNIC can be created by defining a range of MAC addresses to use for each VM. Each MAC address corresponds with a single VNIC, which is used by a virtual machine.

To create VNICs

In the Oracle VM Manager, click the Networking tab. Select the Virtual NICs sub tab

In the Create VNICs tab, click AutoFill to get the next MAC address and select the number of VNICs to be created.

Click create to generate the VNICs.

Creating Virtual Machines Virtual machines can be created using the following methods.

ISO files

VM Templates

Assemblies

Installing single node standalone database on the Oracle VM

Launch the VM console from the OVM Manager
