Oracle VM Manager/Server Developer VMs

Hi,
I am working with the pre-built developer VM's for OVS and OVM and I am new to the Oracle VS/VM area. They are very handy to have and I have used them to create a working eBusiness image. However, I cannot seem to shut them down rather I always have to suspend them, because if I do not then I always have a running (error) or starting (error) status for my server pool when I try to restart them.
It is also impossible to export the appliance in this state, as it basically shuts them down and then when i reimport the appliance and it restarts, I have the same problem again. What could be causing the (error) statuses? I do not know quite where to look. I try starting them in different orders, but none of this seems to work. I would prefer not to have to reimport and redploy the images as it takes the best part of a day to do with no guarantee that I will not get this problem again.
Anything is appreciated.

There is a forum dedicated to virtualization. I admit it doesn't seem to get as much traffice as this place, but it might be worth posting there to see if you can tap into some VM experts (some of the specialist forums are monitored by Oracle employees, although I don't know for sure that such is teh case with Virtualization).
Cheers, APC

Problem installing Oracle Identity Manager Server 9.1

Hello,
I try to install oracle identity Manager Server 9.1, but I'm having a problem.
Oracle identity manager 9.03 is already installed with jboss-4.0.3SP1 and j2sdk1.4.2_15
and oracle 10.2.0
So I follow these steps to clean out the db:
1. Drop tablespace: drop tablespace oimtbs including contents;
2. Drop user: drop user oimuser cascade;
and ran prepare_xl_db.bat as instructed. No errors in the log.
I ran the DiagonasticDashboard : the db setup was fine.
When I ran the installer "setup_server.exe", i haved this message :
Folowing Error occured during schema creation
Error encountered while loading database script
E:\OIM_Install\OIM9100\installServer\Xellerate/db/oracle/xell.sql
Please contact your DBA!
maximum key length (1478) exceeded
Does anybody have any idea what this error is about ?
Thanks.

Index IDX_LKV_LKV_ENCODED on Table LKV (Column :- LKV_ENCODED - VARCHAR2(3000)) is failing on 2k block size. Though all the Indexes are working fine with the 4k block size.
But OIM Dev team recommends to create the 8k block size for the Index storage.
Because the blocksize affects the number of keys within each index node, it follows that the blocksize will have an effect on the structure of the index tree. All else being equal, large blocksizes will have more keys, resulting in a flatter index than the same index created in a 2k tablespace. A large blocksize will also reduce the number of consistent gets during index access, improving performance for scattered reads access.
HOW TO CREATE THE INDEXES IN LARGER BLOCKSIZE TABLESPACE
In the existing database:-
Create a tablespace with the 8k blocksize, For Example
First,
Set the system cache size for that particular db block size
sql> alter system set db_8k_cache_size=100M;
sql> CREATE TABLESPACE db_8k_tablespace DATAFILE 'C:/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/8k_file.dbf' SIZE 100M BLOCKSIZE 8192;
Then
Reorganize the Index using command:-
sql> Alter Index <Index_Name> Rebuild tablespace <Tablespace_Name>

Oracle Configuration Manager Server is unavailable (500)

I have a few targets that report configuration to My Oracle Support using Oracle Configuration Manager. Everything was fine until last week, when I noticed that the Last Collection Date wasn't changing. When I try to manually collect, I get the following error:
E:\>ora11\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\ccr\bin\emccr collect
Oracle Configuration Manager - Release: 10.3.8.1.1 - Production

Unable to determine if mandatory packages available.
Error encountered in retrieving update. Oracle Configuration Manager Server is u
navailable (500).
Collection and upload failed.
E:\>
Anybody else experiencing this same problem? If so, any ideas how to fix it?

Turns out this is expected, as Oracle is rolling out a database upgrade. This notice is posted on MOS:
Configuration Data in Read-Only Mode
We are making improvements to the database that holds configuration data for My Oracle Support. During this upgrade, the Customer Configuration Repository (CCR) is currently in read-only mode. You can view configuration data, but will not be able to upload new configurations or change configuration-related systems attributes. The CCR will remain in read-only mode until the planned My Oracle Support outage completes this weekend.
While CCR is in read-only mode, you will see an error message:
   In the related log file during an automatic attempt to upload a new configuration or for offline Collector users who upload their configuration as a Service Request attachment.
   On pages within My Oracle Support that access the configuration data
   Primarily under the Systems tab
   Sometimes within Patch recommendations and Health Checks
When the CCR returns to update-mode after the outage, your last successful upload will remain in place as the benchmark for determining differences with the current configuration. The next collection you send will update your configuration and then becomes the configuration used for comparisons.
Please file a non-technical Service Request or contact Oracle Support if you need help or have additional questions.

Oracle Services & Management Server

(1) I had installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Window2000 Advance Server. Generally in NT Server, upon restarting
server all services come up automatically, but my Oracle Services shows started and when I try to
connect through SQL Plus it gives me error "0RA-27101 - SHARED MEMORY REALM DOES NOT EXIST". So to
start up database I am using svrmgrl option.
Can somebody help in configuring services so that when I start server all services also come up
automatically.
(2) Also when I am trying to take Backup, it prompt message saying that connect to Oracle Management Server
and launch this Wizard. But I am not been able to configure my Oracle Management Server.. Can somebody
tell me how to configure Oracle Management Server so that I can take-up cold as well logical back up
using this option.

Hi,
If you have installed Enterprise Manager on your system, it comes with Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard helps you to configure and set up OEM interactively.
You can find the information to configure the OEM under Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Guide has step-by-step procedure for setting up the OEM. You can find this documentation under the link
http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/em.817/index.htm
Best of Luck

Oracle 8i Management Server???

Help!
I know nothing about Oracle, but am expected to administer a datatbase. I am trying to open up the Enterprise Manager (OEM) but keep being asked for information about a Management Server.
In my services, there is a Management Server, but I am unable to start it.
Can anyone tell me how to start, add, configure a Management Server so that I can start the OEM???
thanks,
amber

You have to set up a repository for OMS.
Go to Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant and configure a repository. It will ask you to create user_name, password and the database name . Then you can start Mangement server from your services.
Hope this will help.

Problem installing Oracle Identity Manager Server

Hello,
this is my first time trying to install this product, and I'm having a problem.
I'm installing it on my development box - Windows XP.
I set up Oracle 10g Release 2, created a database instance,
and ran prepare_xl_db.bat as instructed. so far so good.
When I ran the installer "setup_server.exe"
it displayed this error message:
Following Error occured during schema creation connected
ERROR loading database script
.......\OIM9.0.1.1\installServer\Xellerate/db/oracle/xell.sql!
Please contact your DBA!
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [12259], [], [], [], [], [], [], [] [10/18/06 6:16 PM]
so, I aborted the installation.
I recreated the database instance, and tried manually running xell.sql using sqlplus to see if I can reproduce the error, but it worked fine.
I only get the above error whenever I use the windows installer.
Does anybody have any idea what this error is about and how to work around?
I would really appreciated it. Thanks.

HI,
As a check of db setup before installing the server
1. Did you run the DiagonasticDashboard to check if the db setup was fine?
if not it is worth the try.
Just for you info, proper way to run the prepare_xl_db.bat is
in the command prompt change the directory to where the prepare_xl_db.bat resides.
$<dir where bat exists> prepare_xl_db.bat orcl E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1 oimuser abcd1234 oimtbs E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\orcl oimtbs_01 TEMP abcd1234
· Where prepare_xl_db.bat <ORACLE_SID> <ORACLE_HOME> <XELL_USER> <XELL_USER_PWD> <TABLESPACE_NAME> <DATAFILE_DIRECTORY> <DATAFILE_NAME> <XELL_USER_TEMP_TABLESPACE> <SYS_USER_PASSWORD> are the switch options.
· This will create the OIMUSER database account, create the OIMTBS tablespace, grant privileges to the user, and specify other database settings.
Install the Diagonastics Dashboard
Assuming you are using JBoss
Strop JBoss server
1. copy <OIM dir>:\OIM_Installs\oracle_identity_manager\DiagnosticDashboard\XIMDD.war <JbossDir>:\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy
2. Start JBoss
3. Wait for JBoss to finish starting completely.
Verify database from Diag Dashboard
4. Access Diag Dashboard from your favouriate browser http://<Host>:<port>/XIMDD
5. In the browser, click Diagnostic Dashboard
6. Select the Test Name: Oracle Database Prerequisite Check and enter your db values.
7. click Verify and analyze the response
Hope this helps!

How to Determine the Oracle Identity Manager Server Version?

Friends,
I have two questions about the Identity Manager...?
How to Determine the OIM 11g Server Version?
How to Determine the OIM 9 Server Version?
Thanks

The bundle patches are found by build number. If you go to metalink and check the bundle patches, there is a build number associated with them, usually also contained in the xellerate/config/Version.props file. This is written to the XSD table during patching. Once installed, there is no identifier that says "BPXXX applied".

Fresh install of Oracle VM Manager Template into Oracle VM Server

Hi,
I am trying to install the Oracle VM Manager template and then
create an Oracle VM Manager client.
I have already done a 'fresh install' of Oracle VM Server.
I do not have another machine available to use to contain the
'Oracle VM Manager', therefore, I am attempting to install the
Oracle VM Manager template directly into an Oracle VM Manager Server and
run the client.
I am following the instructions of the Oracle VM Server Users Guide
in section 4.3.
When I extract the zip file contents into the
/OVS/seed_pool directory, I get the following files.
Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz
So far, so good.
Next, I used 'tar' to help me extract the directories of the .tgz file.
So far, so good.
Next, as instructed, I used 'python' and 'print randomMAC()' to create a new MAC address.
Inside the /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM/vm.cfg file
I modified the vif MAC address. I replaced the
xx:xx:xx with the 'last three' that were generated by the python randomMAC
function from above.
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:<my generated numbers>', ]
So far, so good?
In the Oracle VM Server Users Guide in section 4.3.,
The next step, expains that I should run
xm create mv.cfg
I did this. When I ran this I received back the error.
Using config file "./vm.cfg"
Error disk is not accessible.
When I peek inside my vm.cfg file.
I see file references starting with the following
file:/OVS/running_pool/ ...
Of, course my running_pool directory is empty.
(Again, this is a fresh install of Oracle VM Server).
My first question is the following.
Sometime in this process was I supposed to run
the the following executable?
./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
If so, should I have done this early?
Was the modification of the vif (of adding the MAC address
into the vm.cfg file, something I 'should have not done'
or 'something that could be ignored' because the
'./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh' would have done this for me?
My second question is the following.
Would the following process be 'more correct?'
..1 Not modify the vm.cfg' file.
..2 run ./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh.
..3 In the /OVS/running_pool/ directory find my
vm.cfg file of interest, then modify the vif with a new MAC address.
..4 In /OVS/running_pool/Change my current location to my directory of interest
run xm create vm.cfg (to run my Oracle VM Manager)?
Any help or ideas whould be appreciated.
Thank you very much,
AIM

Hi,
This is the README file for Oracle VM Manager 2.2.0
Readme for Media Pack B57738-01
Print: Access key=P Close: Access key=C
Oracle VM Templates for Oracle VM Manager 2.2.0 Media Pack v1 for x86 (32 bit)
=====================================================================
Template Version 2.3
Oracle VM Manager Version 2.2.0
This document contains:
1. Prerequisites for Oracle VM Manager virtual machine (VM) deployment
2. Oracle VM Manager Template description
3. Creating an Oracle VM Manager Virtual Machine from
Oracle VM Manager Template
4. Deployment Interview
5. Known Issues
For more information on Oracle VM Manager, please refer to
the "Oracle VM Manager Installation Guide" and the "Oracle VM Manager
User's Guide" available at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/index.htm
1. Prerequisites
================
- A new install of Oracle VM Server 2.2 that has NOT been managed by another
Oracle VM Manager. Manager Template 2.2 is intended to be installed on Oracle
VM 2.2 server. If you have a new Oracle VM 2.1.5 server and want to deploy
Oracle VM Manager template, please use the Oracle VM 2.1.5 Manager template.
Note: root access to the server's dom0 is required.
- It's highly recommended that you upgrade the default agent (ovs-agent-2.3-19)
to ovs-agent-2.3-27 or later. You can get the latest Oracle VM 2.2 packages
from Oracle's Unbreakable Linux Network (http://linux.oracle.com).
Note: Alternate location to get Oracle VM agent 2.3-27 is
http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/server/2.2/RPMS/ovs-agent-2.3-27.noarch.rpm
- A working directory of the Oracle VM Server 2.2 has at least 4GB free space
for downloading and installing the template. The working directory can be any
directory on the Oracle VM server except /OVS/running_pool.
Note: The /root partition of the default Oracle VM server install may not have
enough space to temporarily host the template installation. Please use other
directory that has sufficient free space.
- At least 15GB of free space in the cluster root storage repository. For storage
and repository configuration, please refer to Oracle VM 2.2 Server User Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/doc.22/e15444/storage.htm
and
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/doc.22/e15444/repository.htm
- At least 2GB of free memory on the Oracle VM Server
- A static IP address for the Oracle VM Manager
- If enabling HA (high availability) for the Oracle VM Manager,
mount a clustered OCFS2 or NFS filesystem on /OVS. If ext3 or a
local OCFS2 filesystem is used, enabling HA will cause the high availability
prerequisite checking to fail. The Oracle VM Manager configuration
process will exit without completing the configuration.
- The Oracle VM Manager will register the first VM that it detects.
To have Oracle VM Manager be the first VM registered,
make sure there are no virtual machine images besides the Oracle VM Manager
virtual machine in the /OVS/running_pool directory on the Oracle VM Server.
- A desktop or other system with a VNC Viewer installed
The steps below assume that the Oracle VM Server used is not currently
or was not previously managed by another Oracle VM Manager. If this is not
the case, the instructions below will ask user clean up Oracle VM Agent DB
before running the Oracle VM Manager.
2. Oracle VM Manager Template Description
=========================================
The Oracle VM Manager Template is distributed as one archive file which
includes:
File Version
OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz 2.3
Deploy_Manager_Template.sh 2.3
The OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz archive contains two disk images,
a VM configuration file and a readme file:
- Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86 system disk image
- Oracle VM Manager 2.2 disk image
- vm.cfg
- README
The system image is a JeOS (Just enough OS) installation of Oracle
Enterprise Linux 5.3. It is a smaller footprint install that contains
the only packages needed by Oracle VM Manager.
Oracle VM Manager is configured to use Oracle Database 10g
Express Edition (included).
Deploy_Manager_Template.sh is used to check the prerequisite and
create virtual machine.
During the first boot of the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine,
the Oracle VM Manager configuration process will create server pool
and import the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine.
Two OS user accounts are created by default:
user: root password: ovsroot
user: oracle password: oracle
The user 'oracle' belongs to the 'oinstall' and 'dba' groups.
The default vnc console password is 'oracle'
3. Creating the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine
=================================================
1) Download the Oracle VM Manager Template (V19215-01.zip)
from http://edelivery.oracle.com/oraclevm
2) Login to the Oracle VM Server's dom0 as 'root'
Copy V19215-01.zip to your working directory with at least 4GB free space.
You can choose any directory on OVM Server except /OVS/running_pool.
This zip file contains the archive file OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz
and a deploy script Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
3) As root, run
# unzip V19215-01.zip
4) As 'root', run the deployment script:
# chmod 755 Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
# ./Deploy_Manager_Template.sh
The deployment script Deploy_Manager_Template.sh will complete the following
tasks:
a) prerequisite checking
b) uncompress OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM.tgz file to directory
/OVS/running_pool. This directory will contain the files following files:
/OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM
|- System.img (OS image file)
|- Manager.img (Manager image file)
|- vm.cfg (VM configuration file)
|- README (Readme file)
c) generate and assign new MAC address to the virtual machine
d) interview the user for VM and VM Manager configuration parameters
(next section 'Deployment interview' provides the list of questions)
e) create and boot the virtual machine from the Oracle VM Server
command line
f) display the access information for Oracle VM Manager and Oracle VM
Manager VM
4. Deployment Interview
=======================
The deployment script will prompt a user to enter
a) Agent password
The agent password is required for the prerequisites check.
b) Storage configuration
Storage Source: NFS address, OCFS2 partition path
The script will automatically detect your cluster root storage repository
if you have configured it. Or it prompts users to input their storage source
and the script tries to set it up as cluster root.
NOTE: how to manually create your own storage repository in OracleVM server 2.2.x
1) Register your storage source. Example:
/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -n myhost:/mynfslocation
/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -n /dev/sdb3
Note that the storage source should have at least 15GB free space.
If the storage source is successfully registered, note down the uuid genereated
by the command above, such as:
51d4c69b-e439-41ac-8b31-3cc485c993b0 => /dev/sdb3
2) Mount your storage repository.
If the agent version is 2.3-27 or higher, execute:
/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/utils/repos.py -i
otherwise, complete the following commands:
[1] mkdir -p /var/ovs/mount/$(echo <uuid> | sed s/-//g | tr '[:lower:]' \
'[:upper:]')"
where '<uuid>' is the uuid noted down in step 2)
[2] mount your storage source to the directory made in step [1].
3) If /OVS exists, delete or move /OVS
mv /OVS "/OVS.$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S').orig"
create a symbolic link from storage repository to /OVS
ln -nsf /var/ovs/mount/<UUID>/ /OVS
c) Network configuration
Static IP address
Netmask
Default Gateway IP address
DNS Server IP address
Hostname
d) Password for database accounts:
'SYS' and 'SYSTEM' (the same password the same password is used)
'OVS'
'oc4jadmin'
'admin'
e) Web Service configuration (supported in template in version 1.2)
Web Service password (at least 6 characters)
Enable HTTPS or not
f) SMTP server (outgoing mail server SMTP hostname)
E-mail Address for account 'admin'
g) Data for the manager services configuration:
Oracle VM Server Pool Name
Oracle VM Server login user name
Oracle VM Server login password
Note that Oracle VM Manager is critical for managing Oracle VM Server Pools.
Do not pause, suspend or shutdown this virtual machine! Configuring
HA is recommended for this virtual machine so that Oracle VM will
automatically restart the Oracle VM Manager virtual machine if there
is a server crash.
5. Known Issues
===============
1) You may see messages on a virtual machine's console similar to these
when the virtual machine is booting up:
Fatal: No PCI config space access function found
rtc: IRQ 8 is not free.
i8042.c: No controller found.
These messages can be ignored.
2) Mail server check fails.
Bug #7140 in bugzilla.oracle.com
Oracle VM Manager installer only checks the default SMTP port 25 for the
mail server. If the SMTP port is not 25, the check fails, and you will
see the following message:
Mail server '<mail server hostname>' check failed, want to re-enter it(Y|n)?
You can enter 'n' to skip the mail server checking. You will also see the
send mail checking fails with following message:
Failed to send mail to '<Admin e-mail address>'
want to re-enter the e-mail address(Y|n)?
You can enter 'n' to skip the send mail checking.
3) OEL VM console may display error messages similar to those below:
BUG: warning at drivers/xen/fbfront/xenfb.c:143/xenfb_update_screen() (Not
tainted)
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff803aa461>] xenfb_thread+0x135/0x2c5

[<ffffffff802338ca>] kthread+0x0/0x132
[<ffffffff80260b1a>] child_rip+0x0/0x12
This will not cause any problems.
4) If you accidentally power off Oracle VM Manager virtual machine through
Oracle Manager UI, and restart the virtual machine from OVM server command
line, although Oracle VM Manager virtual machine is running normally,
the virtual machine status in Manager UI will stay in 'Shutting Down'.
This is expected, as the virtual machine status sync will only happen when
the virtual machine status is "Error" or "Powered Off".
To re-sync the virtual machine status, please complete the following steps:
1. Log on the Manager UI;
2. Navigate to the 'Virtual Machines' tab;
3. Select Oracle VM Manager virtual machine, "OVM_EL5U3_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM";
4. Choose 'Reset' from 'More Actions' dropdown list;
5. Click 'Go' button, the status will become "Running" after a while.
5) (Bug 9191053) For OVS agent version 2.3-19, the following High
Availability scenario will not work.
"If a Virtual Machine Server fails, all running virtual machines are
restarted automatically on another available Virtual Machine Server."
For OVS agent 2.3-19, Oracle VM Manager virtual machine will not be
automatically restarted on any other available Virtual Machine Server,
but on the original Virtual Machine Server when it becomes available again.
To fix the issue, please upgrade OVS agent to 2.3-27 or the latest version.

Oracle Advanced Security in Developer Forms 10g (10.1.2.)

Hi everybody,
I have installed Oracle RDBMS 10g v.2 (10.2.0) and Developer Suite 10g (v 10.1.2) on XP platform on the same machine.
I want to configure encryption and SSL authentication (Oracle Advanced Security) using Oracle Net Manager of Developer Suite as I have done before on Oracle Net Manager of Oracle Database Server and Oracle Client 10g as well....
The problem is that there is no such a selection in Oracle Net Manager and i'm wondering if there is the capability to install and configure Oracle Advanced Security in Developer Suite 10.1.2..
Is there Developer Suite 10.2. downloadable from OTN....????
Thanks , for your interest...
Simon

I believe they need to be in separate folders.
I extracted them into separate folders, then ran setup.exe from disk 1. It will ask you for the location of disk 2, enter that path and away it went.

Problem with console in Oracle VM Manager

I have installed Oracle VM 3.0.3 and Oracle VM Manager 3.0.3 is install on Oracle LINUX 5.6. I cannot get the console to work from either the Oracle VM Manager server itself using firefox or remotely from Windows running IE or Chrome. After looking at version posts I have installed tightvnc-java-1.3.9 and ovm-console-1.0.0. The symptoms are different locally and remotely. First locally on the OVM Manager server with firefox. I click on console and a pop up asks if I want to run ovm_rasproxy-ws.jnlp click OK and things go crazy, multiple tabs open and keeps going until I kill firefox or the server runs out of resources. On the remote PC I click console and things just hang and nothing happens. Checked firewall settings, iptables is not running, I can telnet to port 15901.
Any ideas
Richard

maybe this will help
local ( oracle vm manager )
ovm_rasproxy-ws.jnlp --> need open by javaws . search the javaws path . or maybe you can install sun java version 7 1st . remote pc
need install realvnc and java jre ( try install java version 7 )
version 3.0.3 - for IE need IE 9 and above.

Local repository on Oracle VM Manager, then yum check-update itself

Hi.
I have one Oracle VM Manager server as Oracle Linux 6.2 x86_64 that ULN registerd.
To update my Oracle VM Servers I set up local yum repository on my Oracle VM Manager, and it works OK with my Oracle VM Server Upgrade.
(Here is nice documents: http://itnewscast.com/oracle-vm-patch-updates )
However when I run "yum check-update" to keep secure OL6 itslef on my Oracle VM Manager, it shows update for el5 (not el6) as below;

unzip.x86_64 6.0-3.100.1.el5 ovm3_x86_64_latest
I can run as 'yum --disablerepo="ovm3_x86_64_latest" check-update' to ignore above updates, but is there any way more smart?

I installed this patch to see if it would fix the problem I'm having, which is:
After a fresh install of 3.1.1 on two servers and the manager, everything worked fine until I rebooted the servers the first time. Then they came up in the "starting" state, and stay there. The error messages from the discovery process say something like "com.oracle.ovm.mgr.api.exception.IllegalOperationException: If the IP address of this server has changed, please delete the server: toravm2.acbl.net, and re-discover."
The servers have certainly not changed any hardware or IP addresses. They were just installed!
Anyhow, the installation of Build 365 and reboot of the servers fixed ONE of them. But the other one is still stuck in the "starting" state, and is UNUSABLE.
Any idea what the discovery process might be seeing that would cause this?

Oracle VM Manager 3.0 - Virtual Machine Console Access

Does anybody else out there seem to have problems launching the console to get into a VM Guest? When we do, we get the login screen and then nothing. It doesn't appear to be firewall related. We had similiar issues in 2.2.
Any tricks on this?

We had similiar issues in 2.2.There is no direct VNC access between your client and the Oracle VM Servers any more. Ensure you have port 15901 open from the client desktop to the Oracle VM Manager machine and that you have all the VNC ports open from Oracle VM Manager to the Oracle VM Servers. We now proxy VNC via the Manager for improved security and simpler configurations.
Also, you will still need to install the tightvnc-java RPM separately, as described in the documentation, to ensure the Java VNC console is installed. This needs to be installed on your Oracle VM Manager server.
