Oracle VM templates for Database 12c & OVM2

Oracle has recently released new VM templates for 12c database:
https://blogs.oracle.com/wim/entry/oracle_vm_templates_for_database
According the documentation it can be deployed either on Oracle VM version 2 or 3.
I've followed instructions to create a single instance VM (64bit) without a problem.
However I'm having difficulties during the first boot:
PowerOn Failed : Result - failed:<Exception: return=>failed:<Exception: ['xm', 'create', '/OVS/running_pool/1817_CIT-DEV-DB/vm.cfg']=>Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
We are using Oracle VM version 2. Was anyone successful with installation on VM2 ?
Jan

I see Oracle's documentation is stating the VM is built on top of Oracle Linux 5 U9 - but in fact the 12c VM is actually using 6 U3
In that case the issue looks similar to this  Linux system administrator and Oracle DBA guide: How to startup OL6 as PVM under Oracle VM 2.X
So question for Oracle: Is installation on OVM2 supported as per documentation (and there is a bug in the VM template or in our VM2 installation) or it's a bug in the documentation and only OVM3 is supported ?

  • Certified Monitoring Template for Database Instances?

    I am setting up monitoring templates on OEM 12.1.0.3 for hosts, agents, database instances etc by copying and modifying the Oracle Certified Templates using "Create Like" then apply to my targets.  There are certified templates for hosts and agents but I don't see one for Database Instances.  Is there a certified templates for Database Instances (such as metrics for tablespace used %, share pool caching %, alert etc)?

    There is no Oracle Certified template for database instances. You may want to use default (out-of-box) metric collection settings for database instances as a basis for your template.
    Here is one way:
    - Navigate to Enterprise > Monitoring > Monitoring Templates.
    - Click Create and select a database target, which still has out-of-box (default) metric settings.
    - Continue to create the template.

    Yes, you can install Oracle VM Manager, create a server pool with the one parent Oracle VM server in it, and then deploy the Oracle VM template in the pool. Once EM VM is up and running, you can register the same Oracle VM Manager with EM, to manage the pool.
    In general, it is not recommended that you use the OVM server backend directly. But for bootstrapping the EM environment, you can also try the following:
    Download the OVM Template on the Oracle VM server. From the OVM server terminal itself you can do "xm create" to spin a new virtual machine using the Oracle VM teamplate. Once the VM comes up, VNC into the VM and configure the EM OMS and agent.

  • Oracle VM Templates for OEBS Release 12.1.3 Vision Media - missing files

    I downloaded all 11 parts ( 8 - DB and 3 - APPS) for this media pack template - Oracle VM Templates for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Vision Media.
    Per the media pack README I unzipped each file and and then concatenated (and gunzipped) them into directories for DB and APPS respectively. According to the media pack README there should be README.txt and System.img files in each directory in addition to the template .img file and vm.cfg files. Neither directory contains README.txt or System.img files, and only the APPS directory contains a vm.cfg file. Both directories do include a template .img file.
    # ls -l OVM_OL5U6_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_VIS_PVM
    total 48004528
    -rw-------. 1 root root 49156626432 Apr 16 17:17 ebs1211db.img

    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 448 Feb 24 2011 vm.cfg
    When I put each directory into a tar ball and attempt to import either template, they fail with an error message indicating the System.img does not exist...because it doesn't.
    Are the README.txt and System.img files missing from the template,? Do i need to download the template again?
    Any insight and assistance is appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Phil

    I answered my question and/or discovered the issue. To get the Oracle VM Template (8 parts) in question to the server where there was space to extract them, I had to copy them between servers. The first time I copied them I did it via an NFS mount and apparently some corruption resulted causing the template to not import successfully. I deleted the template parts from the destination server and Hi Phil, Can you please explain how you managed to import the files once after copying to the destination? ie, until now I was using FTP to download the templates(which are in .tgz format)
    copied them a second time via scp. This time the files were intact and the template imported successfully to the OVM Manager. Issue resolved.I am kind of a beginner with Oracle VM environment and completely lost with making it easier to import the templates. I mean, following the readme.txt I unzipped the files, which created the four files for application and database tiers and then I used to tar repack them (following a suggestion received from another thread) and then imported them through a FTP session
    The entire activity took almost two and half days, when an alternative method as what you mentioned looks quite feasible to implement, especially while dealing with large templates like the ones for E-Business suite. Hence please answer the following:
    What do you mean by secure copying to target file. Does it mean you copied the template elements to a particular folder with VM Server?
    Once after copying the files using secure copy, how did you import them?
    What is your VM environment? A lot of things have changed with VM Server 3.1.1, the OVS/seed_pool structure is not any further available and the template import has been restricted to http, https or FTP sessions.
    Please supply the details, if possible

  • Oracle VM Template for Siebel 8

    Oracle now provides an Oracle VM template for Siebel 8. Once you have downloaded the template, they say it only takes about 30 minutes to setup your entire Siebel installation!
    The template includes the industry version of Siebel 8 and the Oracle 11g database configured with the Siebel schema. More info is available here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/vm/templates.html

  • Building Oracle VM Template for Exalogic

    We're upgrading our Exalogic system to support virtualization and we'd like to create Exalogic-specific templates using OVAB. The problem is that we can't find an Exalogic-specific system base image that we can use for the template. When I try using the base image provided by OVAB, it complains about base image and tells me to install the "Oracle VM template configure tool RPM" I haven't been able to find that either.
    Can anyone tell me where I can get either an Exalogic-specific base image or the "Oracle VM template configure tool RPM"? Thanks very much.

    Login to edelivery

  • OEL 5.5 running Oracle VM Templates

    Dear experts
    I have installed a server with OEL 5.5 in order to run the Oracle VM Templates for Siebel.
    I'm able to run the oracle vm's using xm create vm.cfg
    However I cannot ping the guest machine just started.
    I'm able to login with VNC using the host ip.
    Any clues?

    Is the firewall enabled for the guest OS? I'd expect it to be enabled by default and thus deny an ICMP packets.

  • How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)

    How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?
    The following is my configuration in the conf\mapViewerConfig.xml:
    <map_data_source name="mvdemo12"
    jdbc_host="127.0.0.1"
    jdbc_sid="orcl12c1"
    jdbc_port="1522"
    jdbc_user="mvdemo"
    jdbc_password="7OVl2rJ+hOYxG5T3vKJQb+hW4NPgy9EN"
    jdbc_mode="thin"
    number_of_mappers="3"
    allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="true"
    editable="true"/>
    <!--  ****  -->
    But it does not work.
    After use "sqlplus mvdemo/[email protected]:1522/pdborcl", it connected to the Oracle database 12c.
    Does anyone know it?
    Thanks,

    For 11.1.1.7.1 use the syntax for jdbc_sid, i.e.
    //mypdb1.foo.com as described in the README,
    - MapViewer native (non-container) data sources can now use database service name in place of SID. To supply a db service name, you will use the same jdbc_sid attribute, but specify the service name with double slashes in front, such as follows:
      <map_data_source name="myds"
        jdbc_host="foo.com"
        jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com"
        jdbc_port="1522"
      />
    For 11.1.1.7.0 use a container_ds instead.
    i.e. instead of using
    <map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                       jdbc_host="mydbinstance"
                       jdbc_sid="pdborcl12c"
                       jdbc_port="1522"
                       jdbc_user="mytestuser"
                       jdbc_password="m2E7T48U3LfRjKwR0YFETQcjNb4gCMLG8/X0KWjO00Q="
                       jdbc_mode="thin"
                       number_of_mappers="6"
                       allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                       editable="false"
       />
    use
      <map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                       container_ds="jdbc/db12c"
                       number_of_mappers="6"
                       allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                       editable="false"
       />
    In my case the Glassfish 3.1.2.2 JDBC connection pool definition was
    Property
    url  jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbinstance:1522/pdborcl12c.rest_of.service.name
    Uncheck the Wrap JDBC Objects option in Advanced panel, i.e. the Edit JDBC Connection Pool Advanced properties page.
    Add a JDBC resource for that newly created pool
    Use that in mapviewerconfig.xml as above
