Install Oracle Virtual Manager (OVM) 3.1.1

This is a part of the post of how to install R12.1.3 from a VM template.

General Notes:

  • Both manager and server must be able to connect to each other
  • Manager can be installed in VBOX in addition to physical hardware
  • Server must be installed on physical hardware

When ready be sure to ping test everything before creating VMs:

  • From PC to OVM (VBOX with OEL6.1)
  • From OVM to OVS
  • From OVS to OVM

If you have problems with ping ensure to shut down firewalls in OEL6.1 – see at end of this post.

Also ensure your network setup in VBOX is "Bridged adapter" – see at end of this post.

Installing OVM

Install as root in the OEL6.1 environment inside VBOX:
