OracleVM Image in OVM Manager is stuck at 'Initializing' condition.

I have a OracleVM server managed by a OracleVM Manager. OracleVM server version is 2.2.2 , Manager on 2.1.5 . When I started an image after its creation, it got stuck at the 'Initializing' state in the Oracle VM Manager screen. The actual image started up fine in the server as shown by 'xm list' . I restarted the OVM manager system and also the OVM image, no go. Please help.

I need a non-iso image of the OVM-Manager 2.2.2 install

An application development group has set up an OVS 2.2 environment and has asked my help to install and setup and OVM-Manager that works with it on a LINUX VM that they they have. The only OVM-Manager 2.2.x I have is an ISO, but I dont have access to the console/DVD as the VM is in Utah.
What are my options? Is there a way to mount and install an ISO locally? (IE: copy the ISO image to a local filesystem on the machine and mount it, and install?) Or is there a non-ISO install package?
Thanks

Do something like this:
mount -o loop ovm-mgr.iso /mnt/disk
cd /mnt/disk
<do the install>
Or Google for something like "mount -o loop iso", and read all about it.

Install questions on OVM Manager and Oracle Linux

I installed OVM Server 3.0.3 on a 64-bit server class box.
Getting tight with a spare box, I tried to install OVM Manager on the Oracle VirtualBox as a VM and also to install it on the top of OVM Server on the same hardware box but neither has been successful.
So, I'm thinking of rather installing OVM Manager on one of my laptops.
Before proceeding to wipe out the data on my laptop, I'd like to check couple of things:
1. I take it that the 32-bit OVM Manager should have no problem working with 64-bit OVM Server, correct?
2. The OVM Manager itself doesn't include with a bootable Linux image and should be installed on the top of a pre-installed Linux (e.g., Oracle Linux), so I need to install Oracle Linux first on my laptop and install OVM Manager on top of it, right?
Thanks for your help in advance!

You'll need at least 4GB of RAM for the Manager for a test/development environment, with 8GB+ recommended for Production, to cover both Oracle Database SE and Oracle WebLogic.

Unable to Boot OVM Manager ISO from iLOM

Hi all,
I am trying to boot the OVM Manager ISO on a Fire X4150 using the console redirection but all that comes up is "Grub" and allows no further interaction. I've tried downloading the ISO multiple times, using an older version of the OVM installation ISO, and upgraded the iLOM firmware to the latest and greatest. When I use the OVM Server ISO, it boots up normally and starts the installation process. The machine that I am running the remote console from and has the ISO image is in the same rack as the server where I would want to install OVM Manager.
Getting physical access to pop a DVD in the drive is limited so really trying to figure out a way I can do this remotely.
Any one else have this issue and knows of a workaround?
Thanks,
Peter

FYI, update the FIRWARE on your Sun Fire X4150s. I was on a project a couple weeks ago and we where unable to use the ILOM to mount ISO files. After 10 hours of FUN, we discovered that its was a BUG! Update each server to the latest FIRMWARE, i.e. download the FIRWARE, and update each node from its web portal.
Sun x86 is FUN!

Lost connection between ovm-manager and ovm-server (ovm 3.1)

Hi,
I have a manager as a VM on my laptop and a physical server as an ovm-server. Everything is fine when i boot the server but after some time, the manager stop to show the information from the server. in the ovs-agent log file the following messages are repeated regulary
[2013-08-29 13:06:19 6160] DEBUG (notification:289) Trying to connect to manager.
[2013-08-29 13:06:20 6160] DEBUG (notification:291) Connected to manager.
[2013-08-29 13:06:20 6160] ERROR (notification:316) No manager Core API server object for 10:60:4b:88:bc:24:10:60:4b:88:bc:25:fe:ff:ff:ff.
[2013-08-29 13:06:34 6171] ERROR (notification:64) Unable to send notification: (111, 'Connection refused')
I did not reboot neither the server nor the manager. No IP change. Rebooting the manager has no effect.
The only way to restore communication is to restart the ovs-agent on the server, but this restart disable the network card. I must be physical on the server to restart the network.
any help will be very helpful
best regards
Jean-Marc

Hi,
The are many steps to verify:
Verify with your firewall on the Oracle VM Manager system (service iptables stop).
Verify with a ping between OVM Manager and OVM Server using the IP Address and using the hostname for each one (from OVM Manager : ping ovm-server ; and from OVM Server: ping ovm-manager).
I hope this can help you
Best Regards

How to start virtual OVM Manager and restore server pool which hosts it?

It had to happen... the day I migrate our OVM Manager from an ESX host into an Oracle VM, we have a massive NetApp outage, and everything fails to come back. As a result of having lock errors when trying to start any VMs I noted on the forum various solutions and ended up following the steps concerning stopping ovs-agent and removal of /etc/ovs-agent/db/* on all the servers. Next I re-added the repo to all the servers using repos.py, but of course now none of the servers are in a pool so the --list command shows them as [R] rather than [*], and the /OVS directory is not yet mapped. So the next stage, according to the instructions which I am following, describes using the 'Restore' option in the OVM Manager GUI. Given that /OVS is not mounted and all of the servers are now config-less, I can't see how I can start the OVM Manager VM to get to the aforementioned "restore" option...
Thank Jeebus I kept the ESX copy of OVM manager on (but powered down), as I was able to fire it up and do the restore, and now everything is hunky dory. However, this is our Dev platform and I was going to build the Prod platform and deploy OVM Manager straight into the OVM architecture via the template, rather than having it on ESX, but this issue on the Dev install has made me think twice about the mobius nature of managing the VM architecture from within the VM architecture...
I am assuming I am missing some sort of commandline knowledge, so... given:
- empty db directory
- root repos [R] on all servers
- as yet unmapped /OVS
...how to get the server pool up and get something back into /OVS, and then start my OVM Manager VM so I can 'restore'? Is it even possible? because if it isn't, I'll be blowed if the Prod OVM manager is going to get deployed like this...
And no, there's no money in the budget for extra tin just to sit there running the OVM Manager and nothing else.
TIA
Kev

Still nobody seems to know of how to create a server pool on the CLI (outside of OVM Manager) though...There is no way to create a server pool on the CLI without Oracle VM Manager. You either need to use the Web UI of the Manager, or use the ovmcli command-line tool. Both of those require Oracle VM Manager to be running.
However, once the Pool is created, you do not need the Manager to be running to perform simple tasks like starting/stopping guests. That can be done with the xm command-line tool.
I agree with you about running VM Manager as a guest of the Oracle VM Server: I actually don't recommend this in production, unless you have at least two Server Pools. Then you can have the Manager of Pool A hosted by Pool B and vice-versa. Most often however, I recommend a completely independent Manager machine, either physical or hosted on a separate virtualization stack.

OVM Manager 3.1.1 b399 won't start up

My OVM Manager was working quite well.
I shutdown and powered off the server for a few hours, but when I restarted it, I keep getting:-
# service ovmm start
Starting Oracle Vm ManagerTime Out...
I have no idea why it's not wanting to start up at the moment.
Any where I can look for logging information to try and diagnose the failure?
I can't see why a restart on the box would cause this. I've restarted it before without issue.

Oracle EM and OVM management--where to start?

We are interested in evaluating EM for OVM control, but after a quick glance through the docs it's by no means clear how to start. We have not used EM before this and it's a daunting prospect.
What I'm interested to know is:
1. What is the minimum amount of parts I need to download and install to get OVM management under EM working for a simple environment?
2. Does it really require a full oracle DB installation or will it work with XE?
3. What plugins and agents etc. are/are not required?
It looks simple enough on paper but the EM framework has an enormous amount of apparatus most of which it seems we don't need.
Any pointers greatly appreciated!

First this is such task where you will learn more but sorry to say it will also take Time. This is not one/two days task.
Yes how to start
==========
I will suggest first dont go with user guides/Implementation Guide, for newbie they are little bit hard as my understanding.
Read small Blogs/Articles and have fast understanding and then go with user guides/Implementation Guide .
These are some article are there web that can hep you

Viewing images from file manager in C5-00.

When I open an image in file manager it does not open. An image viewer opens but does not display the image. Then I've to restart the phone to get rid of image viewer from open apps. Does anyone has the same problem? Any solutions? Firmware version: 071.005

Does any image cause this (including camera pictures), or just some? Do the images display normally in Gallery? What about images stored on the phone (temporarily change the camera's memory setting and snap a photo) vs. on the memory card? For this test, you may want to temporarily remove the memory card.
I am hoping you'll find that images stored on the phone display everywhere 100% normally, which would mean some corruption on the card. If so, back up any important card data, connect the phone to a computer with USB and Mass Storage mode (or use a separate card reader), and check the card for errors in the same way you would check the hard drive. If the computer can find and fix the problems, then hopefully the issues are solved. If not, you may need to reformat the card (as FAT32). Worst case scenario is that the card could be going bad. I hope that helps!

Connection problem to the OVM Manager 3.0.3 Console

My OVM Manager 3.0.3 installation was smooth on top of Oracle Linux 6.0, not even with a single error after taking care of some prerequisite warning stuff at the beginning.
After the installation, it displayed some info on how to connect to the OVM Manager Console.
http://ovmmanager:7001/ovm/console
https://ovmmanager:7002/ovm/console
But, not only neither address seems to work but also the server opens neither port.
I have no problem remotely logging into the shell via ssh.
Trying "telnet ovmmanager 7001" and "telnet ovmmanager 7002" isn't connecting.
Also, Oracle is up and running.
# ps -ef |grep XE |wc -l
31
# ps -ef |grep pmon
oracle 1610 1 0 02:28 ? 00:00:02 xe_pmon_XE
I rebooted it couple of times but the same thing.
Could someone please let me know where I should start?
Thanks.

Hi,
The reason is the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ovmm shell script. It tries to start the weblogic with oracle user. The oracle user doesnt have permission and it fails with a timeout
if [ $action = run ]; then
logger "Starting the Oracle VM Manager application."
echo -n "Starting Oracle VM Manager"
nohup su - oracle -c "$USER_MEM_ARGS DOMAIN_PRODUCTION_MODE=true JAVA_OPTIONS=\"-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=127.0.0.1:8453,server=y,suspend=n -da:org.apache.myfaces.trinidad\" /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/startWebLogic.sh &" > /dev/null
RETVAL="$?"
fi
change it to
if [ $action = run ]; then
logger "Starting the Oracle VM Manager application."
echo -n "Starting Oracle VM Manager"
nohup su - -c "$USER_MEM_ARGS DOMAIN_PRODUCTION_MODE=true JAVA_OPTIONS=\"-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=127.0.0.1:8453,server=y,suspend=n -da:org.apache.myfaces.trinidad\" /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/startWebLogic.sh &" > /dev/null
RETVAL="$?"
fi
Thanks,
