Oracle Linux 6 installation FAILURE on VMWare virtual machine

I just downloaded OEL 6.0 x64, created a new VMWare virtual machine (I have many VMWare VMs running various flavors of OEL 5) and did an installation. It all seemed to work fine. I was just testing, so I didn't do any customization. It finished, and looked good, just like all the other ones I've done. I clicked "reboot", and it did. Or it tried to.
It did boot from the disk, but after about 15 seconds, it said:
No root device found
Boot has failed, sleeping forever.
I retried the installation using a fresh VM, and even let the installer check the whole DVD first. Same result.
Anyone installed OEL 6 to a virtual machine on VMWare ESX?
Any idea what the heck could be wrong?

The problem is:
The Red Hat compatible kernel includes the vmw_pvscsi driver whereas Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel doesn’t. The kernel that the installer boots first does have the drivers, which is why everything is set up fine until UEK tries to find the root volume. It's an issue we plan to address in an updated kernel.
For now the workaround is:
When creating a new VM in VSphere, do not pick Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 x86-64 as the OS type but use Oracle Linux 5 x86-64 (or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5). ESX will then expose the LSI logic scsi controller to the OS and the 2.6.32-100.28.* kernel will work.

Oracle 10g IO perfomance on vmware virtual machine

Hi Friends,
I am facing perfomance issue on oracle10g 64bit, installed on rhel5.3 64bit on a vmware virtual machine because of disk IO.
While taking DB backup using netbackup I can see the datatransfer speed comes up to 100 Mbps.
But when oracle IO requests comes it is not going more than 30 Mbps.
And the CPU IO wait remains same as on both of the time. (20% to 40%)
Please help.
Regards,
Nayagan

Could you verify this behaviour outside a VMware virtual machine?
If yes, then please open an SR on Metalink to let support diagnose.
Provide an RDA, AWR snapshot if you have licensed the Diagnistic Pack - if not than provide STATSPACK snapshots.
Sorry - but this is a database upgrade forum :-)

Problem to connect to VMware virtual machine in VMM

I have a problem to connect to the VMware virtual machine console through the VMM Admin Console. I get the message "For a connection with this virtual VMware machine necessary ActiveX object is not installed. Would like you to install the VMware ActiveX element now?"
If I click "yes", IE opens. To the installation of this ActiveX element I've added the web access side of the VMware-Host to the trustworthy sites in IE. I've also disabled the strengthened security configuration for IE. But it did not help.
What can I still try?
Thx

The most common problem getting the activeX installed is that the VMware infrastructure web portal has not been setup completely. It is from that portal that the activeX is downloaded and installed. Ensure that the VMware infrastructure portal has been setup
and configured for SSL. The Url we attempt to get theactiveX from is https://HostName/ui/plugin/msie/vmware-mks.cab
Uhm, yea, that URL is invalid. Maybe it was for vCenter 3.x? or 4.0 only? Does not resolve on v4.1 :(
If you are having trouble getting the activeX installed there are a couple of workarounds. One workaround is to install the VMWare Infrastructure Client onto your machine where you are running the VMM Admin Console. The Infrastructure Client installation
installs VMWare's activeX along with its own client.
Tried that... it doesn't use ActiveX anymore (still 4.1) so no go :(
Another workaround is to login to the VMware Infrastructure Web Access portal and one time connect to a VM. This will also download and install the activeX and let it work.
Tried that... it doesn't use ActiveX anymore (still 4.1) so no go :(
So basically I need either the SCVMM guys to figure out to do this in the new version from vmware or I need some vmware experts to tell me where I can find this activex component...

Oracle product not supported on Vmware virtual environment

Members,
Oracle certification says Oracle products running on Vmware virtual environment are not supported.
One of my development Identity manager setup is running on Vmware virtual environment.
As of now application is running fine and I am getting support from Oracle on product issues.
Can anyone suggest what could be the impact of this in future and what types of issues I can expect in future.
Thanks,
S M

Flash media server 3 on VMWare virtual machine

Do any one know can a FMS 3 run smoothly on a vmware virtual
machine? if yes, is there any requirement need to be aware? thanks
for any adivse.

Rather than VMWare you may want to consider a operating
system-level virtualization. I recommend OpenVZ. This has excellent
native speed performance for the guest OS. I have This system with
the host and guests all CentOS4.5, running variously FMS2, FMS3,
Red5 etc in the guests. Its super easy to start, stop, clone,
distroy the guests. the guests can be firewalled from the host. You
can set guaranteed min and max memory allocations for the guests.
You can run Linux distros as guests that differ from the
host, but you can't run non-linux guests, unlike in VMWare.
Also, the default resource allocations for the newly created
OpenVZ guests are insufficient to run FMS in, so the config file
for the guest needs to be changed.

I have a new iMac and I was able to transfer all files but not my VMware virtual machine. How do I do this?

I was able to migrate all my stuff from the old iMac to the new iMac but can't access my VMware virtual machine. How do I transfer it from the old to the new.

I would
1. use an ext hd or usb stick to copy them over to manually
2. transfer them manually over the network to a shared volume
never could get migrate to work at all from my old windows pc
so I ended up copying everythign

HT3231 Migration Assistant and vmware virtual machine

I would like to use Migration Assistant to move my information from a MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Air. Before I perform that, I would like to make sure I don't migrate any problems in the new machine.
How do I choose for example NOT to migrate the VMWARE virtual machine in my older MacBook Pro so that the new MacBook Air becomes lighter?
Thanks

During the setup of your MacBook, it will ask you to restore a backup, so choose the option to restore data from another Mac and follow its steps. You will be able to choose what you want to restore.
If you haven't modified anything, VMware stores virtual machines in Documents folder, so the only thing you have to do is to untick the Downloads folder and the virtual machine won't be migrated to the MacBook Air. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html
If you are going to migrate applications, it's important to check that they are compatible with Mountain Lion. PowerPC applications aren't compatible and you will be wasting space if you transfer these apps

If you have the mkinitrd line it's trying to run, you'll have to add --builtin=ehci-hcd* to the line for the initrd to build properly.

Cannot find an Oracle Linux installation for 32 bit machines

Can anyone show me where to find a linux oracle 11g or 10g installation for a 32 bit machine.
The ones I downloaded from oracle are all for x86 64bit machines.
Thanks

On following page
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/dat
abase/index.html
this is the link
http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle11g/linux_x
86_11gR1_database.zipWhat I actually said is that the link provided is for 64bits linux machines.
When I try running uname -r on my linux bash prompt, I get the i3686 tellin g me that I am running a 32bit machine.
On the other hand, installation guide specifies that we should check the kernel version and system architecture.
I don't think I should continue installation on seeing that I am trying to install a 64bit product on a 32bit system.
Regards,
Michael

Network problems with Oracle Linux 5.7 on Vmware ESX 4.1

We recently installed Oracle Linux 5.7 64 on Vmware in order to run OVM Manager 3.02. The VM experiences random frequent network connectivity problems. There are no errors showing up in the network stats. The Vmware environment hosts many production VMs with no issues. We did have some trouble configuring Vmware tools with the uek kernel, so we booted the vm with the base kernel and we were then able to configure Vmware tools with no problems. We have tried running the VM on two different ESX servers with no improvement.
The network connectivity problems persist even with the base kernel. We get random ping failures into and out of the VM, and random disconnects of ssh terminal sessions.
I am not very experienced with linux, being primarily a vmware and aix admin. Any tips on stabilizing Oracle Linux on Vmware are greatly appreciated otherwise, I will have to beg for a new server to host the OVM manager.
Thanks,
Bob

The network connectivity problems persist even with the base kernel. We get random ping failures into and out of the VM, and random disconnects of ssh terminal sessions.Before you check on software and driver updates you might want to check your hardware settings. I've seen problems like this before when using a bad network cable or having a duplex mismatch. The later can happen when changing from a router to a network switch and configuring the switch for fixed full duplex. Depending on which end you sit you won't even see any network errors, but packages will disappear depending on traffic. Make sure you have set server's NIC and network switch port to the same topology ie. fixed or auto-negotiate, but not mixed. You can use the "ethtool" on the Linux system to verify the current settings.

Monitor profiling & ICC profile management in VMware virtual machines?

Greetings,
I'm successfully running Photoshop CC in Windows 7 on bare metal PCs. To support that, I profile/calibrate my monitors with Datacolor Spyder4Elite and print with Qimage. Photoshop, Spyder4, and Qimage all create and/or install ICC profiles. Does any/all of that function correctly within virtual machines hosted by VMware Workstation (v9.0.2, specifically)? Datacolor's Spyder4Elite, for example, relies upon periodic reloading of the LUT (Look-Up Table) of the graphics adapter. The other apps I mention ask Windows to use ICC profiles. Can I successfully move all of these workflow elements into virtual machines?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

No, actually the System Default stayed the same, but the ACER profile showed up in the Devices panel. However, [ ] Use My Settings was NOT checked, implying they found some way to install the profile that's outside the normal configuration settings somewhere between the Advanced and Devices level configuration.
The fix is to check the [ ] Use My Settings box, add the profile one wants to use in the Devices panel, and [Set as Default Profile]. This overrides the setting above.
