Oracle Vm 3.1.1 install - why don't I have /OVS/seed_pool ?

Hi Guys!
I am learning Oracle VM 3.1.1. I have successfully set up one Virtual machine so far based on an i7 based "server' and Oracle VM manager 3.1.1. I used a templates from edelivery.oracle.com -- my server only supports PVM so the one I was able to set up was the OVM_SGDU62_x86_64_Template. I had to set up my own Apache httpd server on another box -- just so i can host the template file to import it into the VM server - but I did it and it worked. On the VM server, I used local storage/ disks instead of NFS - which was a challenge - but I got it working as well.
My next project is to learn RAC by seeting it up using the RAC templates. I've install the latest RAC templates based on patch 13818831 which has p13818831_10_Linux-x86-64_1of2.zip and p13818831_10_Linux-x86-64_2of2.zip. The readme does not mention importing the template via ftp, and instead I am supposed to go and unzip it into /OVS/seed_pool. However when I go there on my VM 3.1.1 Server, it is not there (nor is /OVS/running_pool).
Here is what I do have, based on my working system (the i7 based server having Oracle Vm 3.1.1 server is shown):
[root@i7 OVS]# pwd
/OVS
[root@i7 OVS]# ls
Repositories
[root@i7 OVS]# cd Repositories/
[root@i7 Repositories]# ls
0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3
[root@i7 Repositories]# cd *
[root@i7 0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3]# ls
Assemblies ISOs lost+found Templates VirtualDisks VirtualMachines
[root@i7 0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3]# pwd
/OVS/Repositories/0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3
So it seems I only have files sitting in /OVS/Repositories/<wierd directory name>/ and otherwise /OVS is empty. Is this correct?
Where should I unzip the RAC templates to? I've tried just creating an /OVS/seed_pool "by hand" but Oracle VM does not recognize it.
Thanks in advance. Marv.

Hello!!
I'm not an expert but /OVS/Pool should be the directory naming of OVM 2.x, replaced by /OVS/Repositories/REPOS_ID in OVM 3.x
The "wierd directory name" it's the unique ID that OVM assigns to Repository, infact if you go to VM Manager in Repository tab and edit your current repository you will see this ID: 0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3
Under "0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3" folder, as you noticed, there are the classic folders ISO, VirtualDisk, VirtualMachine, etc. where files are placed.
I've never tried to import a pre-packaged template from Oracle but I would try importing it as an assembly from http/ftp! ;)
Hope this helps.
Greets!

    Apple's rules for their app store do not allow programs such as Firefox to be run on their iOS devices. We do have a tool to allow access to your Firefox Sync bookmarks and history on your iOS device.

  • Why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel?

    I am currently asking this in Yahoo! Answers as well:
    I just used Boot Camp Assistant around a week ago to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display (and if it also helps find a solution: I'm also using Mountain Lion). At first, certain keyboard functions that can be used in the Mac OS (such as brightness and volume adjustment; oh, + the trackpad functions) that couldn't be used in Windows didn't exactly bother me since I was able to manage without them... until I started to play online games - which is the main reason I had to dual boot my macbook. When I already found it annoying to continuously click control+left click to perform right click, I started to look for solutions, and I noticed that most people online have said, "Oh, simply adjust your settings in the BOOT CAMP CONTROL PANEL. There should be this DIAMOND in your task bar; click on it so that you can apply changes you want. It should be there after you have installed Windows..." ... Well, thing is: in my case, it DOESN'T APPEAR! "Check your control panel," they say. "You will surely find it there." Check for me, if you will, because I seriously have no clue why I can't find it, even after checking using the Search bar...
    Now... why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel? I find it really strange how it doesn't appear in mine when it does in most of other people's... I kinda dislike the idea of reinstalling Windows, because over the week, I've downloaded several drivers and other applications (mostly games). Is there any way I could get it without having to undergo the process of deleting and uninstalling files? I need my Mac OS for school and office work (don't ask) and I need to have my entertaining pastimes using Windows. Please don't hesitate to suggest as many ideas as you can...
    Thank you!

    It appears from your description that you did not download and install the Windows support software. It was one of the first menu items you saw when you started Boot Camp Assistant.
    Run Boot Camp Assistant again and select the menu option to download the Windows support software. Save this download as described then install it from within Windows.

    Why don't I have the same opoisions in my calendar for appointments? Online in iCloud calendar there are options to pick from for days of the week and how many weeks to set an appointment.

    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

    Why don't i have iDVD on 10.8.2

    You can still get a copy of iDVD (along with the vintage iWeb) by ordering the iLife '11 suite from Amazon.
    To me, just having iDVD is worth the price - and it still integrates well with the still-supported iMovie.
    Good luck,
