Register Virtual Machine in OVM manager

I have created a virtual machine on server manually by copying system.img and configuring vm.cfg file. How can I register this machine with OVM manager?
Thanks.

If they are 2.2 (or higher), run */opt/ovs-agent-latest/utils/repos.py -l* and make sure your storage repository is listed. If it is not listed, use the documentation to add the repository and initialize it. That will then make it available and visible to the pool (and thus Oracle VM Manager).

Can't create new virtual machine with Virt-manager

After going through the whole setup, I would get this error through backtrace:
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/netlist.py", line 346, in validate_network
netobj.start()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/network.py", line 104, in start

libvirtError: Unable to create bridge virbr0: File exists
Hence, I attempted to follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bridge_with_netctl to set up my network bridge and try again, and I'd still get the same error.
I also tried to do sudo virt-manager but I'd get:
** (virt-manager:16835): WARNING **: Could not open X display
No protocol specified
(virt-manager:16835): Gdk-ERROR **: error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
I want to get KVM working using a gui and so I choice virt-manager, but now I'm stuck and don't know where to go from here.

Virtual machine front end / manager

Is there a way to have vm's assigned randomly on user login? I have a pool of 5 vm's that I would like to offer to my users without assigning specific machines. I just want the user to connect and get the next one that is available. Is
this easily accomplished?
Thanks

Hi shumph15,
I agree with Brian :
"Users should not save files on a virtual machine that is in a virtual desktop pool. If a user logs
off from a virtual machine in a virtual desktop pool, the next time that the user logs on to the virtual desktop pool, the user might be connected to a different virtual machine in the virtual desktop pool."
For virtual desktop pools please refer to the link below :

Maybe the command line shows some errors.Try something like
/usr/bin/kvm -M pc -monitor pty -boot d -hda /dev/vg01/opsi -cdrom /root/debian-500-i386-netinst.iso -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:49:da:10,vlan=0 -net tap,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb -vnc :0
-hda is where you want to install the machine. Here it's a logical volume, but you can also use an image.
-cdrom is the installation medium
you can probably omit -vnc :0. I used it because I install machines on servers without gui.

Windows 8 Hyper-V - Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine

I have Hyper-v running on Dell Precision T3600 with Windows 8 OS. I am trying to start a VM (called Windows8VM) to install Windows 8 in the hyper-v virtual machine, but I keep getting the following message:
"Windows8VM" failed to start.
Failed to start the virtual machine "Windows8VM" because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.

Okay, I turned off hyper-v, went to bios and enabled Intel TXT(LT-SX) Configuration. Made sure that both Virtualization and VT for Direct I/0 are on. Next, I turned on Hyper-V and I create a brand new Virtual Machine call Windows8 and had
the DVD point to Windows8 ISO file on hard drive. When I clicked on start, it stayed in the Starting status mode for about 5 minutes. Then of course it failed. I looked at the Hyper-V-VMMS log and here is what it output:

VM Manager doesn't recognize virtual machine

Hi there.
I've created 2 virtual machines (Red Hat with EBS-12i), a vision and a fresh install and I have the VM manager installed in another machine. It all worked fine untill the day that I had to move the machines to another place and I was forced to change the IP of the machines.
After I made the IP changes I lost the access to the vision virtual machine, the VM manager sees the fresh VM but doesn't sees the vision.
Do you know if there is a tool that can probe the VM server to search for the virtual machines or the configuration file where there is the location of the VM?
Thanks and regards,
Ricardo Vilhena

On the Resources tab of VM Manager, select "Virtual Machine Image" and then import --> From Server Pool. It will find all the running VMs that exist in /OVS/running_pool/ that are not already being managed by VM Manager.

Windows 10 Technical Preview - There is NO "Hyper-v Virtual Machine Management" service???

hi all,
There's no such Windows Topic as "WTP Virtualization", so I post this thread here, a somewhat "VIRTULIZATION" related.
I installed WTP (not server) x64 enterprise 9879, and added "Hyper-v Management" feature (management only, without Hyper-v core) in Control Panel. Then I found that there was no "Hyper-v
Virtual Machine Management" in Services panel, and there was no such file "c:\windows\system32\vmms.exe". Therefore I cannot connect to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-v through WTP Hyper-v Manager.
I confirm the reason is what I state above. Firewall rules are properly configured on both Hyper-v server and WTP. I also used hvxxxx.wsf to configre anondcom to be "allow". When
I connect WS 2012 R2 through WTP, Hyper-v manager on WTP says "Please confirm VMMS server is running".
Is it a bug, or lack of implementation, or restriction of preview edition?
Any suggestion is appreciated! Thanks!

Okay, I turned off hyper-v, went to bios and enabled Intel TXT(LT-SX) Configuration. Made sure that both Virtualization and VT for Direct I/0 are on. Next, I turned on Hyper-V and I create a brand new Virtual Machine call Windows8 and had

If you are new, why not use the current version, 3.0.3? I am new too, and don't know anything about version 2 so I can't help with your direct question. 3.0.3 actually has ten patches against the host and 1 for the manager. I'd suggest you get current and start over.

It looks like your disk drive may have bad sectors on it, and when the dd copy reaches those bad sectors, it reports an error. Check /var/log/messages on the OVM server to see if it reports disk errors.

Is it possible to have two or more virtual machines point to a shared instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 for systems administration?

Hello All,
I am the Systems Admin for a production box running SQL Server 2008 R2. I have been ask to do the following and and trying to figure out if it's even possible.
1. The Production Server is named ProductionA
2. Create 3 Administrator accounts on ProductionA each with access to the SQL Server instance on ProductionA. Use Standard SQL Server login for credentials. i.e. Username/Password and assign the role sysadmin.
3. Install 3 Virtual Machines on ProductionA each with Windows 2008 R2 64 bit operating system.
4. For each Virtual Machine, Install SQL Management Studio and write down the IP Address assigned to each VM.
5. Using Remote Desktop Connection, connect to each virtual machine to be able to manage the SQL Server.
Is this possible? And, why am i doing it? Because I DO NOT want the three people who will be having access to the production SQL Server to also have access to the primary host ProductionA. Since I have to allow them to RDC into the box
to manage the SQL Server, I figure why not create a separate VM for each one of them and they can RDC into those instead.
Does this make any sense?
Any tips are greatly appreciated. The main reason for doing this is because the three people who will be accessing the box, I need to isolate each one of them and at the same time keep them off of the primary ProductionA.
Thanks for your help.

Hello M,
Since you dont want the 3 guys to have access to Production machine A.You can install SQL Server client .By client i mean SQL server management studio(SSMS) on there local desktop and then create login for them in SQL Server.Open port on which your SQL server
is running for three of the machines so that they can connct.Now with SSMS installed on each machine each can connect to SQL server from there own machine.
I would also like you to be cautious with giving Sysadmin privilege to all three of them ,first please note down what task they would do and then decide what rights to be provided.
Your option will also work but you need to create 3 VM for that .Which is more tedious task.
Hope this helps

Auto-start of VM Guest Machines when OVM host starts.

Greeting Experts,
I need to ask workaround for auto-start of guest virtual machines whenever OVM host starts.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Sharjeel Mojib

There is no supported way of doing this in OVMM. If you'd really wanted to take that route, there is, of course a way to achieve this.
First, you will have to get a hold on the ID of your guest, that you want to start. You'll get that from OVMM
You could then use the rc.local script to have Xen start your guest at startup by adding this to the end of rc.local
/usr/sbin/xm create [Path to Repository]/Guest_ID/vm.cfg
This should start up your guest, assuming that the storage repository is available at this point, which it should. OVMM will pick up the guest's state when it queries the ovs-agent on that host.
Again, this is totally unsupported!

Virtual Machine - creating

First of all let me say Hi :-)
I was wondering if you guys could provide insight on the status of a virtual machine. I am importing an Oracle VM Template and the status seems to hang in 'Creating' and it's been several hours already. How long should I expect for these template-based vm's to create? What can be the cause of a vm not flipping over to 'Powered off'?
Are there any log files I can check for feedback?
Thanks for any input,
Honza
Edit:
I should add I am using the VM Manager for this.
Which actually brings up another question, how are virtual machines created via Manager related with those created directly on the server? If I create a machine with 'xm create' will it be available through the VM Manager?
Edited by: Honza on Jun 16, 2010 12:28 AM

This error message could mean that the storage repository isn't configured correctly. Are you able to access the vm.cfg file from every server in the pool?

OVM as virtual machine on managed OVS

Hi All,
Is it possible and good idea to install Oracle VM manager as virtual machine on one of managed server? What pros and cons you see?
Thank for all replies

It depends… as always… if you're heading for a real production environment then, no - I wouldn't run OVMM inside am VM on a VM server that is managed by that particular OVMM. Also, it's very tedious to install, since you will have to get it installed first on a separate (physical) host and set it up, before you can configure a new VM to hold the VM Manager afterwards, where you will basically perform an "emergency" re-installation.
Please note as well, that Oracle requires you to run OVMM against a production Database (Oracle SE/EE), which also should live on a separate host, but where OVMM can be installed on as well - this is the way I have done it: Oracle SE and Oracle VMM on one host.
If you don't care, the details are described on the forum, but I'd only recommend that for non-productive use. Also note, that this is not supported by Oracle (I guess).

VM Manager on virtual machine - best practice

I am setting up a server using Oracle VM to limit the number of cpus available to a virtual machine which will be running an Oracle database.
I have set up a test environment, one Oracle VM Server, and the Oracle VM Manager running on a separate server.
I have read in this forum that I could create a linux virtual machine on the VM Server, and then install the Oracle VM Manager on that.
Re: Oracle VM Manager installation
To create the linux virtual machine, I used the Oracle VM Manager that I have running on a separate server.
Once I created the linux virtual machine, I installed Oracle VM Manager on it.
From this point, I hoped to create the virtual machine upon which I will run the Oracle database, but I get the following message:
OVM-2008 The Server Pool Master (10.36.64.225) has been registered with some other pool, and can not register it again.
So if running the Oracle VM Manager on a virtual machine on the Oracle VM Server is a good idea, how do I do it?
Many thanks.
Paul

Hi Tommy,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my query.
Unfortunately, things didn't go so well.
I ran the commands you listed, checking on the status of each VM manager (the original one, running on separate physical linux server, and the one I want to use, running as a VM guest) between each command:
/opt/ovs-agent-latest/db/db_del.py master
- this provided no response, and logout/login from both VM managers showed no changes.
/opt/ovs-agent-latest/db/db_del.py srv
10.36.64.225 removed.
- the oraVMmanager now listed as powered off in the original VM manager.
/opt/ovs-agent-latest/db/db_del.py srvp
10.36.64.225 removed.
- no change in VM Managers
/opt/ovs-agent-latest/db/db_del.py vm
/OVS/running_pool/28_oraVMmanager removed.
- no change to both VM Managers and the guest VM is still running.
/sbin/service ovs-agent restart
option 2 - guest VM shutdown (28_oraVMmanager)
I couldn't get the guest VM to restart
service xendomains start failed saying there is a lockfile:
/var/lock/subsys/xendomains
I haven't been able to get past this point other than to re-install and start again.
Maybe there is another way to do this...
If I install the VM Server, can I create a linux VM Guest using command line rather than from the VM Manager?
Once I have a VM guest, I can logon to that, and install the VM Manager.
Cheers
paul
