OVM/Tools
Tools
Tools:
- GCC / Make
- Python
- Mercurial
The trick being to not upgrade any existing packages that came with the base system (otherwise it compromises the validity of the base system).
Installing Tools on OVM 3.3.x
Install Oracle (oel6_5) Public Yum repository:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
Edit public-yum-ol6.repo (using 'vi'):
- disable [ol6_latest], [ol6_UEK_latest]
- enable [ol5_u5_base]
enable [ol5_u4_base] (possibly ol5_u5_base, and some stuff in ol6_latest but slow)
Or just use:
[ol6_u5_base] name=Oracle Linux $releasever Update 5 installation media copy ($basearch) baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/5/base/$basearch/ gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
Warning: the Oracle Public Yum repo is slow!
Exclude kernel from yum updates:
echo "exclude=kernel*" >> /etc/yum.conf
Manually install Kernel headers:
rpm -Uvh http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/4/base/x86_64/getPackage/kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64.rpm rpm -Uvh http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/4/base/x86_64/getPackage/kernel-headers-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64.rpm
Install Yum key???
cp /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle.original wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6 -O /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
Install dependencies:
yum install zlib-devel.x86_64 bzip2-devel.x86_64 bc # hg: zlib-devel bzip2-devel

Manual hack to get OpenSSL dependencies: (PITA!)
yum install keyutils-libs-devel libselinux-devel # I forgot to check if these were still required
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/getPackage/libcom_err-devel-1.41.12-14.el6_4.2.x86_64.rpm rpm -Uvh libcom_err-devel-1.41.12-14.el6_4.2.x86_64.rpm

Installing Tools on OVM 3.2.x
Install Oracle (oel5_5) Public Yum repository:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo
Edit public-yum-el5.repo (using 'vi'):
- disable [el5_latest]
- enable [el5_u5_base]
, [ol5_u5_base]
Or just use:
[el5_u5_base] name=Enterprise Linux $releasever Update 5 installation media copy ($basearch) baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/EnterpriseLinux/EL5/5/base/$basearch/ gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
ol5_u5 is now broken, so don't use this!
[ol5_u5_base] name=Oracle Linux $releasever Update 5 installation media copy ($basearch) baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/5/base/x86_64/ gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle gpgcheck=1 enabled=0
Warning: the Oracle Public Yum repo is slow! A few times the repo has appeared to be online, but when attempting to download files you get a "File not found."" error.
