OVM Manager is totally lost

Hello everyone,
The machine where I installed Oracle VM manager version 3.1.1 is totally lost accuse of hardware failure and unfortunately there is no backup taken for ovs schema nor for vm manager's config file as offline copy. I tried to install oracle vm manager o new machine, it is fine installed and ovs server is discovered properly, but my question is there a way to discover current ovs server configuration (Server pool, storage repository, network, ..., etc.) by the new oracle vm manager and change its ownership? or I have to re-install oracle vs which will cost a lot?
Thank you,

I have never had to do this, but just incase its helpful. The old vm.cfg for each VM should still be found on you NFS server in the repository you setup (assuming you used NFS). Unless someone has a better option, changing the appropiate UID's in the path may help. Here's an example to one of my VM's. You may also check the OVM Tools optional download to see if there are any usefull recovery utilities. There are likely wiser admin's here who can guide you better.... Good luck.

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 13:06:34 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

New to mac, iphoto and totally lost

Hi,
Just got two macs, one ibook and one imac.
transition from windows is not as easy as I thought. We have different users in the imac. Imported some pics in my user and some in my wife's. Set to share, but the pictures do not show in the source folder. Try everything: totally lost. When I go to the user's folder, there is a little -, and tells me i have no privilege to open the folder. How do we share the pics? is there an easy way?

Hi bemusdan,
follow brians advise and you should be set to go. I will give you some info to add to brian's.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

Adding an OVM server back into OVM Manager after a reload

We have created a sandbox environment to test Oracle virtualization and had 2 physical servers setup. One running Oracle OVM and the other Oracle Linux. The Oracle Linux box had OVM Manager installed and was using local storage for the repository.
After about a month of running the Oracle Linux box was reloaded without saving any of the OVM Manager configuration information. After reloading the Oracle Linux box and installing OVM Manager my first issue was adding the OVM server back into a pool. We were getting the error that it was already being managed by another host. After a quick search of the Oracle forum I found a post suggesting that we stop the ovs-agent on the OVM box and remove a file.
These were the commands:
# service ovs-agent stop
# rm /etc/ovs-agent/db/server
# service ovs-agent start
After doing this I was able to discover and add the server into a pool. The next issue was when I went to look at the virtual machines hosted on the OVM machine. All 6 of the virtual machines that were created now show as "orphan_004fb0000060000...". In digging around I noticed that the repository for the local storage was not setup so when I go to try add the local disk back as a repository and I select "create a data repository: select physical disk" it comes back as blank.
If I click the storage tab and look under local file systems I see the disk and it has location repository specified and server listed under presented servers.
I am thinking the mapping is somehow messed up after adding the host back to a new OVM Manager and I need to relink the storage to the repository but am a little lost as to how to accomplish this.
I am trying to avoid reloading the entire OVM server so I don't lose the work already done with the existing virtual machines.

To answer your second question first, It is an unclustered server pool.
When I run the refresh I get an error. Below are the details:

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

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!
Charles Meo

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

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

OVM Manager 3.1.1 can't discover one of the servers

Hi,
I have a weird problem with one of our OVM3 servers. Due to "System is initializing ..." errors I had to delete and recreate the OVM Manager DB. The operation went smoothly but after a restart I'm only able to discover one of the servers (soaovm2). We actually have each of the servers in a separate pool (self-tough best practice if you plan to use RAC on the VMs). So, as mentioned the second server was discovered just fine (with pool and everything) but the first server is refusing to get discovered:

I have tried every possible trick there is (delete discover_hardware.lock, delete agent db) as well as made sure communication works ok both ways (can connect to soaovm1:8899 from manager as well as ovmmgr:7001 from server, passwords double-checked) but nothing helps. I still get the same error. My suspicion is this has something to do with the one-node cluster pool the server is (was?) in. It seems to be working ok but I can't stop it:

I would appreciate any ideas here (preferably ones which wouldn't require rebooting guest VMs ...) as I have no clue what to try next.

I ran into this issue. The fix for me was to restart the ovm manager (so on the ovm manager I ran "/etc/init.d/ovmm restart") and then I restarted the ovs-agent on the host. So I did "/etc/init.d/ovs-agent restart".
If you need to you can reset the ovs agent password from the host by issuing "ovs-agent-passwd oracle <password>".
Hope this helps.

How to create EBS 12.1.1 cloning using OVM Manager

Hi
We are currently running Oracle Application release 12.1.1 and Oracle Database 10.2.0.4.1 on IBM Power 5 on AIX 6.1.
We are in process of Migration the whole environment to Intel based platform our go LIVE date is 26th september 2013 and the vendor has configured the Oracle VM environment, they suggested us to use Oracle VM templates but we did the test migration using iso files of Linux(x86_64) and Oracle DB Home and Oracle Application Techstack
Source (2 server HACMP CLuster) Server1 DB and CONC, server 2 APPS
Oracle Database 10.2.0.4.1
Oracle Application 12.1.1
AIX 6.1
Target (2 Servers OVM Cluster) Guest VM DB, Guest VM APPS
Oracle Database 11.2.0.3.6
Oracle Application 12.1.1
Oracle Enterprise linux 6.4
Oracle VM Hypervisor 3.2.3
Oracle VM Manager 3.2.3
We have completed the migration by installation the OS, DB Home, APPS TECH stack using media because we were unable to get the latest templates from Oracle E-delivery, we need to create a clone of the current setup using OVM Manager and also cloning of EBS Database and APPS tier using the same method without running the cfgclone scripts, help needed.
Thank you
regards
shahrukh

Thnaks for the update,
The requirement of aggr + 2100+ 001 is only in Solaris 10. In Solaris 11 a vnic-link + vLan tag can be almost any name (some miner restrictions), below is the man page (unless this is an OVM manager requirement).
Our network configuration is, LACP (net13+net17), and vnics with vlan tags on top assigned to zones or vsw on top of the aggr1 assigned to OVM for SPARC.
