FreeBSD guest on Oracle VM Server 2.1.2

Hi everybody,
I'm new to using Oracle VM. Has anyone sucessfully got a FreeBSD guest to work on the server? Thanks.

Also, there is no graphical user interface for Oracle VM Server: it is a text-only machine.

Oracle VM Server 2.2 Linux Guest cannot ntp to server properly

Hi All,
I have installed a VM guest Oracle Linux Enterprise 5U6 in Oracle VM server 2.2. I follow below procedure to config NTP in VM server.
https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/entry/configuring_ntp_services_for_oracle
However, when I apply the NTP configuration with VM server itself on the Guest, it detects the NTP server in high jitter value. Even though the stratrum is lower than the local host, It still cannot use that server as NTP source. Here is some information about the NTP debug and IP address.
IP Address:
Oracle VM Server: 172.16.8.100

Hi Avi,
Thanks for your reply. Due to we do not have Oracle VM Manager, I did configure the VM guest to point the internal NTP server (172.16.90.1) which is mapped by Oracle VM server, but the high jitter is still existed while the guest can ntpq the NTP server. Thanks.

Oracle VM Server 2.2.1 as VM Ware Guest

Hi,
I have download and installed Oracle VM Server 2.2.1 and Oracle VM Manager 2.2.0 in a VM ware virtual machine.
After installing Oracle VM Manager i wanted to access https://127.0.0.1:4443/OVS, for that i tried changing to GUI, but its not working.
I have researched and found out that "Oracle VM Server is a bare-metal product. You cannot install it as a VMware guest."
Is this true for VM Server 2.2.1?
Is VM ware server command line only, then how we access the http link to access oracle VM Manager?
Also is there anyway i can install VM Server as a Guest using VM ware.
thanks,

Ok, i have figured it out taht i have use another system to access the oracle vm server.
I am able to ping from my host pc to my guest oracle vm server pc, but when i give
https://192.168.111.1:4443/OVS it gives page cannot be displayed
also netstat command on vm server virtual disk gives
netstat -na|grep 4443
tcp 0 0.0.0.0:4443 0.0.0.0:* LIST ENany ideas?

ORACLE VM Server can not install guest

I have installed ORACLE VM server, it sucks can not use local CD-ROM to install guest, have to mount a remote iso file, but when I use install location nfs:xxx:/path/
got error msg: RPC: not registered.

nfs:xxx:/path/ got error msg: RPC: not registered.this problem is a NFS problem. please verify if NFS server is started successfully or not.
(1)issue "rpcinfo -p" on server to check if portmapper service is ready for NFS.
(2)please make sure you may mount it from command line before hand.

Oracle VM Server Guest Console

Is it possible to access the guest console on the same system where Oracle VM server is installed? Or do I need to have a separate host with Oracle VM Manager to access the same? I'm planning to install Oracle VM server x86 version on a laptop, and it simply doesn't make any sense to have a separate host just for the guest console.

No, Oracle VM is not like XenClient at all. It looks like XenClient is meant for laptop and desktop users to run one or more guests that get access to the laptop hardware through some special virtualization layer that takes advantage of hardware virtualization features.
Oracle VM is strictly a server product. I.e. the guests do not get access to the server hardware, it is all emulated or paravirtualized. It is possible to pass a PCI card to a guest, but only one guest can use that device, and the server cannot use it at the same time. That pretty much excludes a laptop screen, because you wouldn't be able to control the Oracle VM server anymore with it.

Memory used to host Oracle VM server, whats left for the guests?

I've built my first test Oracle VM server on a small celeron powered machine with 1.5GB RAM. I created a PV OEL5 guest and initially gave it 512MB RAM. Now if I increase this to 1024MB and try to start the system I get the error...
failed:<OVSException: no server selected to run vm('/OVS/running_pool/50_OELr5r3') memory=1024> StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 77, in start_vm raise e
A little research implies this error is because not enough memory is available to run the OS. So how much from the 1.5GB of RAM is actually available for guests? I would be surprised to learn that 512MB is used JUST for the host environment. Doing a cat /proc/meminfo gives me the following;
*[root@ovm ~]# cat /proc/meminfo*
MemTotal:       545968 kB
MemFree:        335464 kB
Buffers:         75120 kB
Cached:          58392 kB
SwapCached:          0 kB
Active:         143920 kB
Inactive:        22356 kB
So 533MB available to the host OS... This leaves just under a gig For the guests, but I can't find where the max is detailed. I can't find anything in the docs which detail how much resources the base Oracle VM server uses and if it's possible to tune this.

I can't find anything in the docs which detail how much resources the base Oracle VM server uses and if it's possible to tune this.Check /boot/grub/menu.lst -- the memory for Dom0 is set on the kernel boot line. You can lower this, but don't go too low. I usually recommend about 10% of total memory be dedicated to Dom0 up to a max of 3.5GB, so on a 1.5GB box, you could probably drop to 150MB or so. Keep in mind that Dom0 is a 32-bit kernel, so you don't want to go over 3.5GB without good reason.

Oracle VM Server 2.2.0 V18336-01 for x86-64bit is actually 32 bit!!

Please note that the Oracle VM Server 2.2.0 V18336-01 download searched with x86-64bit is actually 32 bit. After install, simply do a "uname -a" and it will confirm this.
As a result, if you try to use a x86-64 bit template for a guest, it will fail with 'Out of memory', "xc_dom_boot_mem_init: can't allocate low memory for domain\n" error message. Using a 32 bit template worked fine.
Looks like the iso image was incorrectly generated. Oracle should fix this distribution.

Actually, it's not. uname -a is running in Dom0 which is always 32-bit. However, the hypervisor itself is (if your hardware supports it) 64-bit. The installer automatically detects what kind of hardware it's running on and selects the most appropriate hypervisor to load. You can check the capabilities of your system by running:
# xm info You can also look at the screen that is presented with the login prompt. It should tell you which hypervisor is being used.

Can I use flash drive in Windows that install on Oracle VM Server

Dear everyone,
I install Windows server 2003 on Oracle VM Server x86. I can use .iso file by copy iso file to /OVS/iso_pools and add resource. But I want to use flash drive on Windows server 2003 that installed on Oracle VM. I don't know how to do or it can do. I want to plug flash drive in Oracle VM Server and can use it on Windows server 2003
Thank you so much for advance
Fujimaru

It looks like you will not be able to use it without continually stopping and starting the guest and editing the vm.cfg file to add the physical device once it is mounted on the DOm0

Oracle Application Server problem

Dear Zedi Masters(Oracles),
I am facing a problem in my Oracle Application Server. The Installation works smoothly, but afterwards if I try to Reload the Webnode manager it gives an error saying the ORB cannot be started" and "start ORB manually" Can someone explain the problem and how to overcome it.
I have also tried "owsctl reload" from the command prompt and have got the same reply.
Thanx in anticipation.
May the Force be with you.

I get the same error message - except that it happens without

Oracle VM Server panic when I execute runInstaller

Hello,
I have an HP Blade BL680c G5 with 64Gb of RAM, with Oracle VM version 3.3.2-1074.
kernel on the Oracle VM server is 3.8.13-55.1.5.el6uek.x86_64
It is part of a server pool of other 3 same hw blades.
Storage is lun based, connected with an IBM DS4700 storage array.
I have an Oracle Linux 6.6 x86_64 vm (selinux disabled) with kernel 3.8.13-68.el6uek.x86_64
It is configured as a XEN_HVM_PV_DRIVERS vm with 2 cpu and 12Gb of ram.
I'm experimenting reproducible kernel panics.
Typically running runInstaller of Oracle 11.2.0.4 RDBMS (sometimes with yum commands).
You can find virtual console screenshots here of panic occurred just after runInstaller command was executed:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvLXA2VEtTYVg1T1k/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvNzNEeUV0akt5Qm8/view?usp=sharing
Any hints of the possible reasons and how to debug?
I have small size internal disk compared with the amount of ram so that I cannot make a local disk kdump.
Can I configure network dump as in usual ways for Oracle Linux 6.x servers? Or serial console can help?
It seems that inside /var/log/messages and /var/log/xen directory nothing useful to check when the server restarts.
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

Nothing special inside the Readme.
You select: Oracle VM 3 Templates (OVF) for Oracle Linux 6 Media Pack for x86_64 (64 bit)
And then:
Oracle Linux 6 Update 6 template (OVF) - Hardware Virtualized with PV drivers x86_64 (64 bit) V73660-01
Inside the README for the two types of templates there is only this note about PVHVM:
The hardware virtualized template contains a kernel that is not recompiled for
the virtual environment, but contains additional paravirtualized (PV) drivers
for improved performance.
and some other notes and known issues that don't relate with the problems I'm having.
Note that also a simple "yum update" can cause sometimes the panic of the guest... possibly only related with my specific hw...
The original question was aimed also to see if anyone else using PVHVM guests without problems or not in general with Oracle Linux 6.
Thanks,
Gianluca

Oracle VM 3.1.1, Oracle VM Server, PeopleSoft Templates and networking

I have installed Oracle VM Manager on an Oracle Linux x86_64 system, all freshly installed, and two Oracle VM Server 6 systems also freshly installed. These three servers are each connected to two networks. One is a 192.168.15.0/24 ("net-A"), and the other is 10.8.15.0/24 ("net-B"). net-B also has the fileserver for the repositories et al directly attached. "net-A" is connected to the outside world. This is all working great; all servers can intercommunicate, can be reached from other devices on each network, et cetera. I can ssh from any machine on the network to these machines, and vice versa. All servers correctly use the internal and the external DNS, and can communicate with Google, et cetera. Excellent!
Now, I have downloaded the templates for PeopleSoft HCM9.1, and PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52, and have successfully created Virtual Machines from these. The VMs start up and run successfully, and I have gone through the startup configuration prompts using the Oracle VM "Launch Console" feature.
My problem is that I have not yet figured out how Oracle VM Networking is supposed to work, and so I cannot get these machines to talk to each other nor to the outside world. And I cannot ping them from other devices on the network, either. Obviously, there's no advantage to having a PeopleSoft server running when one cannot attach to it. I've read through the documentation numerous times, and I've pored through http://itnewscast.com/chapter-7-oracle-vm-networking-8021q document over and over, but I get lost in the virtual-upon-virtual-upon-virtual world. Maybe (probably) it's me, but I am not getting how this fits together, and where/how the virtual-ness of the network ends. Plus, all of the configurations in that itnewscast.com Chapter 7 article involve at least one switch (virtual maybe? not clear!) between the VMM and the VMS, and I don't have a switch invoved in this network... it's flat, with everything on the same wire.
My Oracle VM network is super simple at present: There is exactly one network ("ps-net"), and it runs all five network channels (server management, live migrate, storage, etc.). Both servers are on this network, and the NIC used is the "net-B" NIC. There is no VLAN, and the IP addresses are set by DHCP. Bonding, the configuration display says, is Not applicable. Since these devices are on the same NIC as "net-B," I provided the 10.8.15.x network information when prompted, and assigned them fixed IP addresses on that network. For "gateway," I specified the address of the VMM, not knowing what else to use. And, as I said, these VM don't talk to anything, not even to each other.
My needs are very simple. The shame is I've built all this up for the express purpose of running those two templates, and it's been a battle, to say the least, to get this far. Who can point me to the error of my ways, or a better way to accomplish this end?
Thanks for your time, and for reading this far!

OK. Out of desire to resolve this, I have completely removed the 192.* network from this configuration, by disconnecting the eth0 networks, and changing the ifcfg-eth0 to ONBOOT=no (yes, I know either action should suffice).
So there is exactly one network involved now. (Greg King said that's OK, if scalability is not an issue, and if he said it, I believe it. I'll complicate it later, after I get simple working.) And one VMS is out of the configuration for now. So I have ora-vmm at 10.8.15.49 ora-vms1 at 10.8.15.47, and the fileserver at 10.8.15.50. ora-vms2 is at 10.8.15.48, but is down for now. The server pool address is set to 10.8.15.1. The network looks like this:
ID: 10.8.15.0
Name: ps-net1
Channels: all
Servers: ora-vms1, ora-vms2
Selected paths: ora-vms1 Port (2) (eth1), ora-vms2 Port (2) (eth1)

I don't understand why, but the VMM has placed this entry into each server's /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory:
ifcfg-10.8.15.0
Contents are:
#This file was dynamically created by OVM manager. Please Do not edit
DEVICE=10.8.15.0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
DELAY=0
I am able to start the guest with no issue. It has been configured with IP address 10.8.15.101, netmask 255.255.255.0. Its gateway is 10.8.15.50, the same network configuration as all the other servers.
The important parts of ifconfig output from the guest (which I must manually type since Launch Console provides no copy/paste functionality) are:
eth0 Ethernet, HW Addr: 00:21:f6:00:00:11
inet addr: 10.8.15.101 Bcast: 10.8.15.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0

Interrupt:14
Ping to 10.8.15.47 (the server on which this guest is running) is successful
All other ping attempts fail.
This is where I am, and why I'm confused. Can anyone help me understand why this guest can only talk to its "host?"
Thank you.
