Oracle VM Manager

Note: Oracle VM Manager needs more than 8GB of RAM

Note, I tried an installation on CentOS 6.4, which failed: "Oracle VM Manager can only be installed on a 64 bit Oracle Linux version 5.5 and higher. Current version is 'centos' version '6.4'". So use CentOS 5.x.


Installation (RHEL/CentOS 5.7 x64):

yum install libaio

mount -o loop "Oracle VM Manager 3.2.2 - V37304-01.iso" /mnt/iso
cd /mnt/iso

groupadd dba
adduser oracle
usermod -G dba oracle
mkdir /u01  # or mount point
echo "ulimit -n 65536" > /home/oracle/.bash_profile

ulimit -n 65536
./runInstaller.sh  # very simple text installation
  # select "Simple" install
  # simple acceptable password: Password12

Note: "You can accept the defaults by hitting Enter"

Note: Make sure your hostname is resolvable!

If you have to restart installer:

rm -rf /u01
mkdir /u01

This will create the following configurations:

 Database configuration:
  Database type               : MySQL
  Database host name          : localhost
  Database name               : ovs
  Database listener port      : 49500
  Database user               : ovs

Weblogic Server configuration:
  Administration username     : weblogic

Oracle VM Manager configuration:
  Username                    : admin
  Core management port        : 54321
  UUID                        : 0004fb00000100004c5942f24aa1e555

Passwords:
There are no default passwords for any users. The passwords to use for Oracle VM Manager,
Database, and Oracle WebLogic Server have been set by you during this installation. In
the case of a default install, all passwords are the same.

Oracle VM Manager UI:
 https://ovm-manager:7002/ovm/console
 Login: admin : Password123
Log in with the user 'admin', and the password you set during the installation.

Please note that you need to install tightvnc-java on this computer to access a virtual machine's console.
