Introduction to Oracle VM Installation

This document provides information about installing the Oracle VM server. It provides the following topics.

Description Link

Describes how to install Oracle VM. “Installing Oracle VM” on page 11

Describes how to create a PXE installation image for Oracle VM.

“Creating a PXE Installation Image for Oracle VM” on page 19

Installing Oracle VM

Oracle VM is a virtualization environment platform that enables users to create and manage virtual machines (VMs). These virtual machines 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.

Your server is compatible for use with Oracle VM 2.2.1. See

http://www.oracle.com/goto/

x6275m2

for the latest list of supported operating systems.

Note – If you purchased a pre-installed version of Oracle VM on an FMod. Follow the

instructions in

“Conguring a Pre-Installed OS” in Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module

Installation Guide.

Oracle VM includes the following components:

■

Oracle VM Manager: A web application that 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).

■

Oracle VM Server: A lightweight, secure virtualization environment based on Xen hypervisor 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.

The following list provides an outline of the installation, and provides links to topics containing detailed instructions.

Step Description Link

1 Check system requirements. “System Requirements” on page 12

2 Obtain the installation image and burn it to a

DVD or copy it onto a server.

“How to Obtain Oracle VM Software” on page 13

3 Install Oracle VM Server. “How to Install Oracle VM Server” on page 13

Step Description Link

4 Install server-specic drivers. “How to Install Drivers” on page 15

5 Install Oracle VM Manager. “How to Install Oracle VM Manager” on page 16

6 Create shared storage, a server pool, and virtual

machines.

“Creating and Managing VM Resources” on page 16

System Requirements

■

Two systems with static IP addresses are required to install Oracle VM: one system to run Oracle VM Server, and one to run Oracle VM Manager.

■

For the system that will be running Oracle VM Server, you must start out with a clean installation that has no preinstalled OS or rmware-level RAID volumes.

■

The system that will be running Oracle VM Manager must have one of the following OSes installed:

■

Oracle Linux Release 4.5 or later

■

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 4 or later

■

Oracle VM media set or an equivalent ISO image. The ISO image can be used for remote installation or for creating an installation CD/DVD.

■

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.

Note – If you are installing remotely, the DVD-ROM drive, keyboard, mouse, and monitor

are connected to the remote system instead of the server. Also, if you are installing remotely, you can use an ISO image instead of an actual CD/DVD.

■

USB keyboard and mouse.

■

Monitor.

■

While conguring an operating system 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.
