Installing Oracle VM
Oracle VM is a virtualization environment platform that enables users to create and manage
virtual machines (VMs). These VMs exist on the same physical server but behave like
independent physical servers. Each virtual machine created with Oracle VM has its own virtual
CPUs, operating system, network interfaces, and storage.
Oracle VM is comprised of the following components:
■
Oracle VM Server: A lightweight, secure virtualization environment based on Xen
hypervisor, and used to run virtual machines and the Oracle VM agent.
■
Oracle VM Agent: Installed on Oracle VM Server, it communicates with Oracle VM
Manager and includes a Web Services API for managing the Oracle VM Server, server pools,
and resources. This is included in the Oracle VM Manager installation.
■
Oracle VM Manager: A web application which acts as the user interface for creating and
managing your virtual machines. This includes virtual machine creation (including
templates), life cycle management (deploying, migrating and deleting), and resource
management (ISO les, templates and shared storage resources).
The following table provides an outline of the Oracle VM installation:
Step Description Link
1 Review up-to-date information about the server
hardware and software, including supported
versions of operating systems.
2 Check system requirements. “System Requirements” on page 10
3 Review installation method options. “Installation Options” on page 11
4 Obtain the installation images and burn them to
a DVD or copy them onto the corresponding
servers.
5 Install Oracle VM Server and OVM Agent. “How to Install Oracle VM Server and Oracle VM

machines.
Supported Operating Systems
For the most up-to-date information about the server, including a listing of supported versions
of operating systems, refer to
Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server Product Notes.
System Requirements
Before you install Oracle VM, you must meet the following requirements:
■
For the system that will be running Oracle VM Server, you must start out with a clean
installation (no preinstalled OS or rmware-level RAID volumes).
■
The system that will be running Oracle VM Manager must have one of the following
operating systems installed:
■
Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4.5 or later
■
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 4 or later
■
You must have an Oracle VM media set or equivalent ISO images for VM Server and VM
Manager.
The ISO images can be used for remote installation or for creating installation CDs.
■
Review the release notes for the Oracle VM software. The documentation set can be found
at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/index.htm
■
DVD-ROM drive.
“Creating and Managing VM Resources” on
page 13
Note – If you are installing remotely, the DVD-ROM drive, keyboard, mouse, and monitor
are connected to the local system instead of the server. Also, you can use an ISO image
instead of an actual DVD/CD-ROM.
■
USB keyboard and mouse.
■
Monitor.
■
While conguring an OS for a networked server, it might be necessary to provide the logical
names (assigned by the OS) and the physical name (MAC address) of each network interface
being used on the Oracle VM server.
Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server Installation Guide for OracleVM • September,2011, –1210
Installation Options
You can install Oracle VM locally or remotely.
■
A local installation takes place on the target machine where the application is being
installed. It requires a media set on CDs or DVDs.
■
A remote installation uses the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) JavaRConsole
program. It uses the local machine to remotely install the application on the target machine.
It allows you to install from a media set on CDs or DVDs, or from equivalent ISO images.
To set up a remote installation, see
the ILOM Web Interface” in Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server Installation Guide

How to Install OracleVM Manager
You can use the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) to install software using either a CD/
DVD or an ISO image mounted on a remote system. The remote console feature allows you to
use the keyboard, mouse, video, and storage of the remote system as if it were connected to the
server where you are installing the operating system. Once the remote console session is
congured, the server can boot from the remotely mounted distribution media (either a
CD/DVD or equivalent ISO le).
If you arenot already the root user, use the su command and enter the root password.
1
Insert and mount the OracleVM Manager CD.
2
Navigate to the root of the CD:

# sh ./runInstaller.sh
5
Follow the prompts to install the software.
For additional information refer to the Oracle VM Manager installation documentation at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/index.htm
Creating and ManagingVM Resources
After installing Oracle VM Server (with Oracle VM Agent) and Oracle VM Manager, you can
create and manage virtual resources. For example, you can:
■
Create a shared storage repository. For fault tolerance, multiple virtual machines using this
storage can be setup in a clustered conguration. Options for your shared storage:
■
OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster File System) using the iSCSI (Internet SCSI) network protocol
■
OCFS2 using SAN (Storage Area Network)
■
NFS (Network File System)
■
Partition with multipath failover
■
Create a server pool for your virtual machines.
■
Create your virtual machines in the server pool.
