Oracle Virtualization – Installing Oracle VM Server 3.0.3,
Oracle VM Manager 3.0.3 and Deploying Oracle RAC 11gR2
(11.2.0.3) Oracle VM templates Linux x86 64 bit for test
configuration
In two posts I will cover Oracle VM server 3.0.3 and 3.1.1 technology; the
first (this one) will be dedicated to 3.0.3 and the second (next one)to
3.1.1. Oracle provides virtualization software ranging from bare metal
implementations based on Oracle VM Server to a Microsoft Windows/Linux/Mac OS
and Solaris deployments based on Oracle Virtual Box. Oracle VM Manager
facilitates management of Oracle VM Server. In this article you will look at
the installation of Oracle VM server 3.0.3 and Oracle VM Manager 3.0.3 on
Oracle VirtualBox and in addition I will provide guidelines for deploying
Oracle RAC 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) Oracle VM templates Linux x86 64 bit for test
configuration using Oracle VM Manager. For information relating to earlier
Oracle VM server 2.2.1 deployment with RAC templates click here. All software
can be downloaded from edelivery.oracle.com (Oracle Software Delivery Cloud)
and the templates (version 11.2.0.3) can be downloaded as a patch from MOS
(patch 12694014). The approach described in the article is applicable on any
supported platform although I am using Oracle VirtualBox for testing. Bear in
mind that contrary to Oracle VM server 2.2.1 in Oracle VM Server 3.0.3 YOU
WILL NOT BE ABLE to have RAC templates deployed in Virtual box environment
due to Oracle VM 3.0.3 dmidecode requirement that VirtualBox does not comply.
I will show briefly guidelines for a successful RAC template deployment after
Oracle VM Server 3.0.3 and Oracle VM Manager are installed. In the next post
I will present a detail steps by step guide for RAC templates deployment
using Oracle VM server 3.1.1 and Oracle VM Manager 3.1.1.
Software versions used are:
Oracle VirtualBox 4.1.16
Oracle VM Server 3.0.3
Oracle VM Manager 3.0.3
OEL 6.2
The article will cover the following:
VirtualBox configuration for VM Server machine and VMManager
machine
Installation of Oracle VM Server
Installation of Oracle VM Manager
Deployment of Oracle RAC 11gR2 Oracle VM templates Linux x86
64bit for test configuration
In real life Oracle VM server runs on a dedicated set of servers and is
installed as a bare metal product without the need of an Operating system.
