Oracle within VirtualBox

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to install Oracle 10g on VirtualBox. I need a 10g database on which I can make some tests.
Basically, I have 2 different VirtualBox. One with the database and one with SQLDeveloper.
The database is correctly installed. I know it because I can successfully connect to the database when I'm on the same virtual machine than the databse:
[oracle@poney ~]$ pwd
/home/oracle
[oracle@poney ~]$ sqlplus scott/oracle
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Feb 17 21:11:17 2011

)I don't know what I've done wrong... Anyone can help me with this?
Thanks

'LOCALHOST' means what the name indicates. Do you have a tnsnames.ora on the sqldeveloper box? If yes does it also point to localhost as hostname?
When the listener runs on box A and sqldeveloper on box B, for sqldeveloper localhost is its box - and NOT the listener/database box.

OEL support within VirtualBox

Hi,
We were wondering, we have an x4170 server with Oracle Premier support. Oracle Enterprise Linux and Solaris are supported. We currently run Solaris as the host OS, and we're wondering if a guest Oracle Enterprise Linux OS would be supported while running within VirtualBox? Or put simply, does being a guest OS invalidate support for said OS, which is in this case OEL?
Cheers,
Tyler

Thanks again for the reply.
In all truth, aren't they the same? Just trademarks switched around, etc? If its not certified, though, then we are forced into it.
I was just following your blog post about OEL 5.3 with oracle database. I downloaded oracle database 11.2 onto OEL 5.3 on x4170, but when I brought up the installer, it was insanely slow. It took like 2 minutes to enter email address and password, and the next button disappeared and wouldn't reappear so I couldn't go any further (JRE related????). I then ran top, java was using 100 to 200% cpu, the graphics server was 70 to 90% cpu, etc. I was wondering if our problems would go away with another os that would allow us to update packages for free. But even on your blog, did you run up2date before installing oracle database?
Or perhaps its safe for us to upgrade to OEL 5.5? Redhat only certifies the x4170 server to OEL 5.3, though. I suppose I'll try OEL 5.5 tomorrow while we wait and see if we can't get a ULN csi (our local reps don't seem to have their act together due to the sun to oracle transition, we're part of a university as well so we may have a site license for it--fingers crossed).
Cheers,
Tyler

Problem starting Weblogic/SOA Server on Oracle VM VirtualBox

Hi,
I have installed Oracle VM VirtualBox on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Toshiba Laptop with 6G RAM. I then imported the Pre-built VM for SOA Suite available at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/learnmore/vmsoa-172279.html. The VM start ok and the desktop gets displayed with icons. Now when I try to start the Weblogic server using the desktop icon, it hangs with log files indicating that host operating system has a RAM issue, although I have 6G RAM as mentioned above. Can someone help with this?
Regards,
-Irshad.

Hi, Make sure you have allocated atleast 2 gb memory to the VM .

Has anyone tried ORACLE VM VIRTUALBOX?

I have just come across this application after I downloaded "Open Office" from Oracle, a free Office Suite. I sounds like this "VirtualBox" is like parallel desktops, but for many diffeent OS's besides Windows. Here is the website: http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/oraclevm/061976.html
DESCRIPTION:
MORE ABOUT ORACLE VM VIRTUALBOX
Multiple operating systems on one desktop
Cross-platform guests and hosts including Windows, Linux, and Oracle Solaris, and Mac OS X as a host
Teleportation of running virtual machines between hosts without interruption
High performance
Support for massive workloads of up to 32 virtual CPUs
OVF format support

As others have said, it has been around for years. I used it to run Windows XP in both Tiger and Leopard, but when I upgraded to Snow Leopard the then current version of Virtual Box was not ready for the new Mac system, so I never installed it.
It worked fine, once it got set-up properly, but setting it up was not exactly easy. Like many open source applications it was a bit non-intuitive for a Mac user, and the directions were not particularly clear. I believe it took several weeks before everything was working the way I wanted (to be fair, I did want to set it up in a slightly non-standard way).

Oracle VM VirtualBox isn't running since OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks last update

Hi
MacBook Air, 1.7 GHz intel Core i5
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Made the the latest OS X 10.9.4 update, since then, Oracle VM VirtualBox isn't running.
Any suggestions?

Contact the developers for tech support. This is not an Apple product. Be sure you have the latest version installed.

Oracle VM VirtualBox need~ VT-x /Intel Virtulization Technology missing in BIOS?

My laptop is lenovo S440,which is running Intel® Core™ i5-4200U Processor.
I checked that Intel official website,the processor support Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x).
However,by the time I running Oracle VM VirtualBOX,it prompt that
"VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it."
I try to enable it at BIOS ~Config>CPU,however I can't see option of Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x). to be select,so I have no way to enable/disable it.
Am I go to the correct path to do the configuration at BIOS?

GUIDE: Oracle VM VirtualBox and Oracle Linux NIC bonding

Author: Dude
Date: 01-Jun-2013
Version: B
Last updates:
23-Jul-2013, changes required due to forum upgrade
The following is provided in the hope that it might be useful. If you wish to use it for the purpose of reference, presentation or education, please include the link or information to this forum posting. Thank you!
What is Linux network interface bonding? Simply put, the Linux system provides a kernel driver, which can create a logical network device (bond) using 2 or more Network Interface Controllers (NIC) to accomplish link-aggregation and adapter fault-tolerance. For more information, please see the Deployment Guide at https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/
The channel bonding interface supports several modes of operation. In a typical active-backup set up for fault-tolerance, the system performs MII-based health monitoring of the network interface slaves (eth0, eth1) and assigns them according to bond options and interface availability. In active-backup mode (mode 1), only the current active network device is seen externally.
Linux bonding for fault-tolerance under Oracle VM VirtualBox does not seem to function as advertised. Searching the Internet for more information shows that other people have tried to set up Linux bonding using various virtualization products, virtual host network adapter and bonding options, but without success.
It appears the management of Media Access Control addresses (MAC) interferes with internal routing methods between the host and the virtual machine guest. Using the modinfo bonding command (fig. 1) shows a listing of available parameters for the bonding kernel module. The fail_over_mac parameter addresses the Mac address issue in VirtualBox.
Fig.1
# modinfo bonding
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.39-400.17.1.el6uek.x86_64
                /kernel/drivers/net/bonding/bonding.ko
parm:           fail_over_mac:For active-backup,
                do not set all slaves to the same MAC;
                0 for none (default), 1 for active, 2 for follow (charp)
Configuration Example
Virtualization Product: Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.2.10
VM Guest OS: Oracle Linux 6.4 (x64)
VM adapter settings: Bridged Adapter, Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net)
Adapter1 (eth0): 080027436617, en0, Ethernet 1
Adapter2 (eth1): 08002708F36A, en0, Ethernet 1
Note: If you wish to reset the network adapter names and MAC addresses used by the Oracle Linux guest system, erase the content of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and restart the virtual machine.
1. Create or modify the following configuration files:
/etc/modprobe.d/bonding-eth0_eth1.conf
alias bond0 bonding
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=10.0.2.12
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
GATEWAY=10.0.0.138
DNS1=10.0.0.138
DNS2=8.8.8.8
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no
BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100 fail_over_mac=1"
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
USERCTL=no
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
USERCTL=no
2. Restart the system or network services (root):
Fig. 2
# service network restart
Configuration Test
Enter the following commands as user root to verify proper operation of NIC bonding:
Fig. 3
# tail /var/log/messages
bond0: setting mode to active-backup (1).
bond0: Setting MII monitoring interval to 100.
bond0: Setting fail_over_mac to active (1).
bond0: Adding slave eth0.
bond0: making interface eth0 the new active one.
bond0: first active interface up!
bond0: enslaving eth0 as an active interface with an up link.
bond0: Adding slave eth1.
bond0: enslaving eth1 as a backup interface with an up link.

During the above test, the client network connection from host 10.0.0.1 (ssh) was maintained without any noticeable interruption. As it can be seen from the syslog and ifconfig command output, the bond0 interface was automatically assigned either the MAC address of eth0 or eth1 and the fail-over worked as advertised.
Good luck!

Machine configuration for installing oracle in VirtualBox

Hi,
Please suggest me required hardware configuration to install oracle application 12.1.3 in LAPTOP through oracle in VirtualBox.
Thanks
Suresh

Please see (How Determine The Hardware Specification : CPU, DISK, RAM (Memory) For E-Business R12.1.x Installation? (Doc ID 789438.1)).
R12 requires at least 4 GB of RAM. The total space required for a standard system (not including the stage area) is 85 GB for a fresh install with a production database, and 233 GB for a fresh install with a Vision Demo database. You will need at least 47 GB to accommodate the file system and database files in the stage area directory.

Use native ArchLinux within VirtualBox - X Server Problems

Hi everyone!
I followed the Wiki Entry here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … ical_Drive
to use the natively installed Arch within a VirtualBox on Win 7.
So far, I can boot into Archlinux - but the XServer cannot start, because there are some Errors, that the XServer failed to load the NVIDIA Modules.
The Wiki entry also mentions this kind of Problem and suggests a solution to use a second xorg.conf for usage with the VirtualBox.
But right now I do not really have an idea how to load an individual xorg.conf?
And how this xorg.conf should look to use the VirtualBox graphics card?
ArchLinux is installed on a Notebook with a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 3100M and I'm using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers (if I boot natively in Arch, which works fine).
Also I would be grateful for any other solution, if someone has successfully started a natively installed Arch in VirtualBox and has the proprietary NVIDIA driver installed.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
PhiGamma

Hello everyone!
There was a NVIDIA specific xorg config file I forgot which was needed for brightness control. I renamed the file and then it was possible to start the X-Server within VirtualBox. But there seems to be a problem with the VirtualBox 3d support and the NVIDIA drivers (eventually due to libgl?). I switched to Nouveau then and everything works fine. I can use 3d support in both cases, VirtualBox and native (I unfortunately need the 3d support for Gnomeshell...).
But personally, I would prefer the NVIDIA Driver, because of the power control facilities which Nouveau lacks right now.
Does somebody know a way to use the NVIDIA Driver an has 3d support within VirtualBox?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards!

Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.1.0 shared clipboard not working

Ok, here's my set-up:
- version: VirtualBox-4.1.0-73009-Win.exe
- installed on Windows XP SP3 (=host)
- extensions installed: Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.0-73009.vbox-extpack
- guest OS = Oracle Linux 6.1 with KDE
After the installation of Oracle Linux 6.1, I installed the Guest Additions and rebooted the guest. The OpenGL configuration failed but I'm not sure if that's related to my problem.
So the problem is that clipboard sharing didn't work between my host and the guest (both ways). It was enabled under the General Settings.
After some debugging, I noticed that the VBoxClient processes were not running. Starting them manually with user root solved the problem.
The script 98vboxadd-xclient.sh under /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d is present, and I believe this should be executed during the startup of X? Looks like this is not happening (or it happens, but it crashes for some reason). When I execute 98vboxadd-xclient.sh manually with user root, everything works fine...
Anyone else with the same issue?? Is this a known bug?
Thanks,
Matthias
Update: looks like the shared clipboard only works when I log in as user root. For a "normal" user, it doesn't work...
Edited by: mhoys on Aug 3, 2011 2:12 PM

Solved by setting the suid bit on the VBoxClient executable (with user root):
$ chmod +s /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.1.0/bin/VBoxClient

Solaris 10 Oracle VDI VirtualBox 3.2 USB support

Dear folks,
This my first time to the forum, since we are in the progress of deploying 240+ thin clients using Oracle VDI. I was piloting the project in a desktop machines with Sunray 3i. I installed Solaris 10 9/10 and Oracle VDI 3.2.1. However, while I was creating WinXP VM in Virtualbox 3.2 -the one which came with Oracle VDI 3.2- I got that error about being unable to connect to USB proxy server. Eventually this error leads to that all my VMs doesn't support USB redirection. So USB flash disk drive doesn't work in my Sunray 3i. Reading VirtualBox documentation Installing on Solaris hosts , I came across this info "*This does not apply to Solaris 10 hosts due to lack of USB support.*" Is this real?
Does this mean I can't redirect USB hardware to my VMs in the server via Sunray 3i? If this is true, what is the workaround for this problem?
Please advise me. . .

Other than the documentation stating it doesn't work, in practice have you tested it to not work also?
We have two Solaris 10u5 machines running Vbox 3.2.12 and they pass through USB fine with our Sun Ray 3's (not 3i's but that shouldn't matter).
Did you enable USB passthrough in the VDI core by selecting the desktop pool and going to the Settings -> Sun Ray RDP Settings? Theres checkboxes to enable USB/smartcard pass through.

MTRRs error on installing esxi5.5 within virtualbox

Hi Guys,
I encountered an MTRRs error while I was trying to install esxi 5.5 within a VirtualBox (ver 4.3.20) which runs on CentOS 6.6.
The vbox settings are:
        Type: Linux
        Version: Linux 2.6/3.x (64bit)
        RAM: 4096MB
        CPU: 2core
The iso was bootable, but hanged with purple screen and mentioned about: No variable MTTRs: assuming ESX is running in a VM.
How can I get rid of the problem? Thank you!

I suspect that the issue is an unimplemented MSR in VirtualBox--one that should be available on the CPU in your CentOS machine, but not on the CPU in your Ubuntu machine.
If that's the case, the two solutions that come to mind are (1) configuring VirtualBox to ignore unimplemented MSRs or (2) configuring VirtualBox to report a different CPU model, that doesn't support the MSR in question. Based on the PSOD, I'm guessing that the MSR is 130H, CPUID1_FEATURE_MASK, described in http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/application-notes/virtualization-technology-flexmigration-application-note.pdf.
If you boot ESXi with the additional vmkernel option "vmbASLR=FALSE" and post an image of the PSOD, I can confirm my guess.

Can't access ArchLinux AUR/BBS/WIKI from within VirtualBox

Hi there,
I'm havin a strange issue since a few weeks. I'm running ArchLinux as a guest in VirtualBox with Windows 7 as a host. It's my working computer in the office and here's the problem:
I can't access the ArchLinux AUR/BBS/WIKI sites from within my virtual macine. Therefore I can't use yaourt, which is a problem for me. If I try to open the sites in the browser I get a timeout. And if I try to wget aur.archlinux.org I get no output after it says "connected". Pinging works fine. And I have no problems at all with my Windows host machine. Could you help me finding the cause of the problem? Where should I look for an error message? I'm looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance.

First of all thank you for your reply and excuse me for answering so late. The holidays came in between ;-) So here we go:
