Oracle VM Virtual Box - Developer Day Image

Just want to say what a good Out of Box experience I had with VirtualBox and the Developer day image. I currently use VMWare for all my Oracle images (Windows,OEL etc..) but I think VirtualBox will be the way forward!

Virtualization in general adds overhead so it will be slower than otherwise though if you are going to run a DB you should have pretty high performance disk if you want high performance.
What is your storage underneath (how many disks, what type of disks, & how are the presented/formatted/partitioned)?
I put SSDs under my DBs and they are performing really well. In my Dev environment I used Samsung 840 Pro SSDs and really like them.

Run solaris 11 on 32 bit oracle VM virtual Box (windows)

Hi All,
Is there any way to run Solaris 11 (64bit only), on a 32 bit windows machine using oracle VM virtual Box ?
Thanks

Excerpt VirtualBox "Hardware vs. software virtualization",
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html#hwvirt
"VirtualBox's 64-bit guest support (added with version 2.0) and multiprocessing (SMP, added with version 3.0) both require hardware virtualization to be enabled. (This is not much of a limitation since the vast majority of today's 64-bit and multicore CPUs ship with hardware virtualization anyway; the exceptions to this rule are e.g. older Intel Celeron and AMD Opteron CPUs.)
You cannot nest HV on HV.

Can the IPad run Oracle's Virtual Box?

There is a programme from my old Windows set up that I can't get for my iMac, so I run Oracle's Virtual Box that allows for a Windows environment to run on my Mac. So, I'm interested in whether an iPad can do the same thing. Can anyone help, please?

You cannot run the virtual machine directly on the iPad but you should be able to connect to the desktop of a virtual machine using one of the remote desktop connection apps.

Connecting to oracle DB in Oracle developer day OVA image.

Hello,
i downloaded the Oracle developer day image and the corresponding software. Started the VM. everything seems fine.
However i am not able to connect. Also, the requried oracle credentials are no where provided. I think as per standards, it should be scott/tiger. but what is the database name ?

See Re: Developer Days VM - Logins for Schemas
The SID name is orcl, and all passwords are "oracle" unless otherwise indicated - this is documented in the first line of the terminal session that opens when you start up the VM and log in as oracle/oracle.

Hi friends,
i have installed oracle db using Oracle Developer Day.ova for practicing on my lappie.
I want to connect to that DB which is inside oracle vm virtual box manager using PUTTY ( which is on my desktop). I dont want to use the in-built workspace or Terminal(whatever is its name).
Can you guys please suggest what should i do so that i can login to the DB using the PUTTY only (i love it )? i am not able to login to the host "localhost" using the putty.
Few years back when i had installed vmware(linux installed in it and db installed on linux) i could connect through putty.
I am using below entry in the hosts file.
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
    127.0.0.1       localhost
#    ::1             localhost
'localhost' and its ip address of 127.0.0.1 are non-routeable. Any request to send a network message to localhost will never leave the machine from which the request originates. And for all intents and purposes, your virtual machine is a different machine.

Oracle developer day - problem downloading .ova file (on a mac)

I downloaded the Oracle VM virtual Box (for mac) just fine, but I'm having a problem with the "Oracle Developer Day.ova". When I try to download, I am shown a file with format problems. It looks like an initial agreement and but is not correctly formatted, it has black boxed question marks inserted oddly and html is visible. There is no option or way to save the file or agree to terms to proceed. (File path is: dowload.oracle.com/otn/other/virtualbox/dd/Oracle_Developer_Day.ova?AuthParam=[big number here]). It seems that perhaps I have a browser issue. I'm using Safari Version 6.0.4 on a mac. Is there a way that I can ftp the file using mac unix?

NY NY - Java at Oracle Developer Day

Just got back from “Oracle Technology Network (OTN) Developer Day, Java at Oracle Developer Day” in NY, NY yesterday. I have to say, I was impressed with Oracle’s direction of and for Java, as they expressed their commitment to it.
They clarified their commitment to the Open Source community, as well as promising that such things as ‘Closures’ and an increased usage of Annotations (among other things that many have been clamoring about, but that I personally don’t care for) will soon be realities.
They made their intentions clear about keeping Java mainstream, making cooperative efforts with vendors and open source, as well as, well … just putting $$$ into development and marketing, and in building strong partnerships. They also stated their intention for strengthening the JVM for “other languages” that run on it.
They also deftly demonstrated RAD using Netbeans – the demos for the new Glassfish/Netbeans were good – and I’m not an IDE kind of guy. Eclipse was also spoken of with a high degree of respect, which also aided in making me feel that Oracle is serious about being cooperative to the extent good business sense will dictate – no I’m not as naïve a fellow as I might at times sound.
Anyone else here there yesterday? Regards,
~Bill

Install OEL 5.0 as Guset OS in VM Virtual BOX

Hi,
I am using WIN XP SP3 on my laptop(intel core i3 32 bit,2 GB RAM).
I have installed Oracle VM Virtual Box for XP (version 4.0.6).There i want to use OEL as my guest OS and install Oracle 11g R2.
I have never used any VM s/w prior to that,hence i don not have any idea on this.
* I have configured OEL VM,now my question is do i need the original OEL 5.0 ISO images to be downloaded from e-delivery to insatll OEL in VM virtual box.And also do i need the 11g R2 binaries for OEL 5 to insatll it within VM OEL???
Please refer me some doc on step by step installation of OEL as guest in VM vietual box.i am a newbie to this.I dont have any idea on this. *
Thanks.

Hi,
if you don't have any idea google is you best friend.
Ask the question you posted here to google, and you will find a lot of good sites with information on this.
However, there is also a good guide, to setup a RAC in Virtualbox, which might answer most of your questions:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnOEL5UsingVirtualBox.php
(Even if you don't intend to install a RAC the steps, till you install the Oracle Software, are the same...).
BTW: Found this via. google ;)

directly.

Thanks

Hi,
Really Please give me some input here in this thread that if we have already Sparc server machine then in this case does we have an extra
edge to move on vm template.
Is VM template apply only on vm virtual tool box and what it give us more advantage than other standard installations.
Is it fully recommended for production?
Thanks

Oracle Database Express Edition 2 Day Plus Java Developer Guide??

I posted in the JDeveloper forum, as well as sending email via your feedback link found on the tutorial but I am a little disappointed by this:
The Oracle® Database Express Edition 2 Day Plus Java Developer Guide has some errors in it.
in Windows, I simply chose, start
-> programs -> Oracle Database Express Edition -> Go To Database Home Page -> click documentation from the link -> and run the Oracle® Database Express Edition 2 Day Plus Java Developer Guide tutorial.
the problem is there are mistake(s) in the tutorial, for example: section 4-19 is this:
"The complete code for the method should now be as follows:
public boolean authenticateUser(String userid, String password,
HttpSession session) throws SQLException { "
it needs to be this:
public boolean authenticateUser(String jdbcURL, String userid, String password,
HttpSession session) throws SQLException {
Also:
there is no mention that :
the port and SID must also be passed in the
ds.setURL(jdbcUrl) found in the authenticateUser() method, or an exception is thrown. This differs from value of the jdbcUrl string found in the getDBConnection() , which makes it hard to figure out
The tutorial is great even if it doesn't work out of the box, but I am disappointed that errata or completed code for this project is not available, especially when you explicitely point to it via the steps mentioned above.
Thanks,
Patrick

The tutorial seems to be using the old JDeveloper 10.1.2.
If you are aiming to learn JDeveloper then just use the tutorials linked from the JDeveloper home page.
