Solaris 10 virtual machine for VMware

I've tried the "Solaris 10 OS, AMD x64 Platform - Solaris Enterprise System Virtual Machine for VMware (Solaris 10 11/06) 3.0". I've d/l the virtual appliance for vmware one can find from there : http://developers.sun.com/solaris/downloads/solaris_apps/index.jsp#vmware
I encountered 2 problems :
The first was the network (netcard) wasn't recognised at all. It's strange because the settings should be the same for every vmware virtual machines. It may be because I'm running the latest version from vmware (10.0.2). The default option was NAT, and I tried the others as well. All other systems I'm using with vmware are working correctly, including the opensolaris "Nexenta".
The second one was with the screen resolution, it was excessively huge, around 2800 x 2000. I couldn't change it in the gnome desktop (the option had no effect). I managed to change it by altering the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. The same was for the keyboard settings, I couldn't switch to azerty (french) keyboard. I had to change it in xorg.conf file.

im new to vmware too, but just wan to share my experience with you.
5.5.1 vmware workstation with vmtool installed.
- my NIC still define as pcn0, encountered packet drop network issue
- dtlogin doesn't work properly with my screen resulation, mouse work fine without pressing ctrl+alt key to get out from vmware
6.0 vmware workstation with vmtool installed.
- no more packet drop issue, especially when i ssh from pc to vmware.
- gdm fit to screen, GUI work fine.
- my shared folder working now, mount as /hgfs.

Monitoring Oracle Virtual Machine for Solaris servers and LDOMs

Hi all,
could anyone tell me if we can monitor Oracle Virtual Machine for Solaris servers and LDOMs with only Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c, or shall we need to install Ops Center ?
Thank you in advance.

I had the same issue. Upgrading Virtual box from 4.1.16 to 4.1.20 solved the problem.

Mountain Lion procedure to clean up (shrink) a Snow Leopard virtual machine under VMware Fusion 5.0.3

Procedure to clean up (shrink) a Snow Leopard virtual machine under VMware Fusion 5.0.3
1.     Backup your existing Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
2.     Right click the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
                    Click Show Package Contents
                    If there are a number of Virtual Disk files then Fusion is allocating space for the virtual machine in 2 GB segments
                    Close the Package Contents folder
3.     If the Snow Leopard virtual machine is segmented then convert it to a single Virtual Disk.vmdk as follows:
                    Start VMware Fusion
                    Select the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine

So if the vendor doesn't provide an uninstall program or instructions, we're just stuck with stuff we may no longer need?
Pretty much. You can always erase your hard drive and reinstall the OS. Some people may attempt to talk you through manually deleting files. I try very hard to avoid doing that because 100% of the time, the person I'm trying to help can't find the files and, instead, starts randomly deleting required system files. Then you have no choice but to reinstall the OS.

Failing to assemble Downloaded Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g

Hello,
I checked the download checksum of the files downloaded for Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ( Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ) and they all match checksums.
however, when I try to assemble them with 7zip, I get a corrupt error message. I have tried downloading with Chrome and Internet Explorer. I have also tried assembling the 7zip files different ways.
Is there anything else I should try?
Running on Windows 7, 64 bit machine. (with lots of disk space).
Is there any other way to get the files?
thank you.

thanks for the response
I guess I will have to do that as well.
However, it defeats the speed with which can ramp up with the toolset; thus slowing my time I can allocate to learning it...

Do I need to configure any settings of Virtual Machine for 64bit guests?

I have installed VirtualBox on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit machine which has Intel Xeon E5506 processor.
Now, I have started to create Virtual Machine for:
1. Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 7 for x86 64 (64 bit)
2. Windows 2008 R2 64bit
I think I need to enable VT-x in BIOS but how about Execute Disable Bit?
Acccording to the VirtualBox User Manual, VirtualBox will automatically use the correct settings for each selected 64-bit operating system type. However, I don't see any setting to specify whether I will install 32bit or 64bit OS. When I check the setting Enable IO APIC, it is not checked. My understanding is that setting must be enabled for any 64bit guests. Does VirtualBox use the correct settings including Enable IO APIC when I actually install the OS not before that?
Thanks for any help.

Hello Todd/Venkat/Tuxedo Experts,
I wanted to clarify the part that says: "You will also need to add the WSL to the UBBCONFIG file and recompile UBBCONFIG."
I am guessing this means adding a WSL entry in UBBCONFIG file of Tuxedo Server since (I have been told in Venkat's post that) UBBCONFIG/tuxconfig file is not required on client side of tuxedo. Am I right in saying that client will have no UBBCONFIG and tuxconfig, while server UBBCONFIG has to have appropriate WSL entry?
Btw, if I look at the ubbconfig of simpapp, it has no WSL entry. It does have the following server details though:
==============================
DOMAINID simpapp
MASTER DevnonAOMapp
DevnonAOMapp LMID=DevnonAOMapp
*GROUPS
GROUP1
LMID=DevnonAOMapp GRPNO=1 OPENINFO=NONE
*SERVERS
DEFAULT:
CLOPT="-A"
simpserv SRVGRP=GROUP1 SRVID=1
*SERVICES
TOUPPER
==============================
Where will the WSL entry fit and what would it look like?
Thanks & Regards,
Ahsan

Installing Pre-built Virtual Machine for Oracle WebCenter Portal error

Hi,
I am trying to install the Pre-built Virtual Machine for Oracle WebCenter Portal: Framework 11gR1 (11.1.1.4.0) onto a Laptop (500G HDD 8G Ram) running Windows 7 to learn.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/portal/downloads/owcs-portalfw-vbox-284132.html
I want to run in a VirtualBox Linux setup etc.
I have downloaded all the files except the REAVDD-HOL-WC.ovf which would not download so I saved in browser to the same directory etc.
I have set the preferences in Virtual Box to the same directory where I have downloaded the files to but when I Import Applicance and select C:\users\Tony\Virtual Box VMs and select the defaults and import I get an error box stating:
Failed to import appliance C:\Users\Tony\VirtualBox VMs\REAVDD-HOL-WC.ovf.
Could not open the medium storage unit 'C:\Users\Tony\VirtualBox VMs\REAVDD-HOL-WC-disk1.vmdk'.

I've imported this appliance (and others) on Windows 7 32-bit on a Lenovo W500, on an iMac, and on a MacBook. The one error you should encounter during the "import appliance" step is a path error related to shared folder (the canned/hard-coded path in the ovf file points to a place that is not likely to exist on your computer, so just comment out the D:\TEMP\Host path, or make it for that matter).



You can alter system set memory_target=300M scope=both and set your VM memory to 2.5GB and everything will run fine (using the vmctl script to start up what's needed). The "1" option is all that is needed for the tutorial shown in the documentation. If you run the admin server, you will see things run a good bit slower. Part of the tutorial assumes you know about UCM and how to take the UCM content in the sample files and upload those into the repository. You can delete the file already loaded and then do a single file upload to "re-load" the various directories/folders for the menu/home/etc. Upload the png and other files into the same folder (menu.html, menuBanner.png, etc. all go into the same Menu folder). It's not worth the time to set the bulk upload because you have to go out into UCM and dig around the admin settings, stop/restart, and so on. You can also use the contentadmin user (welcome1) to do the file upload.

Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter VMware To Hyper-V Cluster

I'm not sure if this should technically be in the clustering section but I have just moved from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to 2012 R2 and I kinda miss the built-in converter tool. What I used to do when converting VMware to Hyper-V was uninstall VMware Tools and then
I would do a physical to virtual conversion on the VMware virtual machine and SCVMM would handle copying the virtual machine while it was online and register it in our Hyper-V cluster. Now, the only thing I could come up with is the Microsoft Virtual Machine
Converter but it seems rather limited and doesn't seem to have an option to import to a cluster. So is the only option to convert it over to Hyper-V as if it were a local machine and then run another export/import process to get it in the cluster? I tried
to point it to a CSV and while it copied the disk over, it registered the virtual machine in ProgramData (the default location). This obviously causes issues when trying to make the VM highly available. Any one have a suggested process of the best way to go
about this? Thank you in advance for your time!

So no matter what option I choose, V2V always shuts down the source VM during the conversion process. On the other hand, if I use the old method of uninstalling VMware tools manually and then doing a P2V instead, the source VM has to stay online for
that type of process. Then I just have to migrate it to become highly available and that seems to accomplish what I want. The only annoying part is that I couldn't run it on my Win 8.1 Pro workstation as it requires the BITS feature to be installed
and that only appears to be available on server editions (correct me if there is a way to get it on 8.1). I guess the documentation (I think) says that it should run on server editions only but V2V runs fine from 8.1 since it doesn't need BITS since it's
an offline process.

Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g - console logons

Dear All
Excellent work on VirtualBox SOA suite image, very very cool
All started up no sweat, logged into virtual image no probs (oracle:oracle)
Firefox all nicely set up with links
BUT what are the console logins for
1 - Oracle EM
2 - WLS Console
3 - BPM Workspace
4 - BPM Process Composer
5 - Oracle B2B Login
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I cant find them
many thanks all

I will try to explain in more detail what i am trying here:
I am planning to use the Virtual Machine as server, just for running Weblogic with SOA/BPM.
All the development i will do on a different computer, where I have installed JDeveloper. From the development environment I will try to deploy applications on SOA/BPM Virtual machine.
As I understood, bridge networking are problematic when using wireless connectivity and VirtualBox. Therefore, I am trying to use NAT with port forwarding instead.
To make port forwarding work:
First, you need to execute on the host the following command line:
+VBoxManage modifyvm "vbox-oel5u4-soabpm-11gr1ps2-bp1-otn" --natpf1 "guestswls,tcp,,7001,,7001"+
Next, on guest VM, Network Adapters, choose NAT and as Adapter Type choose: Intel PRO/1000 MT Server
With this settings, I am able to connect from development computer to the Em console, WLS console etc. I am able even to 'see' the WLS SOA/BPM instance with JDeveloper from LAN machine. But when I am trying to deploy from JDeveloper, under SOA Servers step2 screen, I see the server URL as localhost:7001. Therefore I cannot deploy yet...
Thanks,
Florin

Starting virtual machine in VMware Fusion disables bluetooth

When I connect to a virtual machine (winXP), I get an error message in OSX, and the bluetooth icon greys out. I can't get bluetooth back to work unless I reboot.
Powering down the virtual machine doesn't help.
Even the bluetooth icon in system preferences is gone then, like I don't have a bluetooth anymore.
I'm on a MBP.
Any ideas?

"Could not create Java virtual machine" for several XP SP3 clients

Hi,
In this last year I got the message "could not create java virtual machine",
(suddenly, after several mounths without any kind of problem),
on 10-15 XP SP3 clients in our lan, lan in which all the 200 clients (90% XP SP3)
have this application installed.
Every time the solution seems to be different:
sometimes the cause is a virus, sometimes i have to disinstall all Java components
and reinstall only the Java RE 6.0_23 (used by the application),
sometimes I have to make also a system registry cleaning for Java components,
only few times was enough to clear the Java cash, change the kind of Java network connection,
delete the temporary files...
In two situations the problem was solved changing UltraVnc with RealVnc
and only once the user solved himself restarting the computer...
I'd like to know which is the meaning of this message and which steps is better
to follow in order to solve the problem in the shortest time.
Thank You

Thank you
for anwering my question !
Anyway, in all the 10-15 cases I solved this problem, I hadn't to change the amount of RAM...
never... and, once solved, the computer client is ok and the application works without subsequent problems...
So, as I said, i can solve the problem without Knowing the real reason, and often after several
hours... (you can read in my previous comment about a lot of differences solutions...)
The matter is... that I can't understand "how and why" I solve the problem...

Physical machines VS Virtual machines for SCOM system

Hi all,
We are about to build SCOM system which will host around 80 hosts in the beginning but it may grows up to a thousand or more hosts. We are debating whether to use virtual machines or physical machines for that purpose. So far all SCOM systems (management
servers,DB,DW) I have dealt with are hosted on physical machines.
Can anyone provide advice based on experience regarding this issue?

Microsoft supports running all System Center 2012 – Operations Manager server features in any physical or virtual environment that meets the minimum requirements that are stated in this document. However, for performance reasons, we recommend
that you store the operational database and data warehouse database on a directly attached physical hard drive, and not on a virtual disk. Specifically, virtual computers that are running any Operations Manager server feature must not use
any functionality that does not immediately commit all activity on the virtual computer to the virtual hard drive. This includes making use of point-in-time snapshots and writing changes to a temporary virtual hard drive. This is true for every virtualization
technology that is used with Operations Manager.
You can work on SCOM virtualization and it will supported your agent but
operational database and data warehouse database on a directly attached physical hard drive, and not on a virtual disk

Migrate to new Virtual machine on VMware

Hi,
One of our SAP system(SOLMAN) is on KVM. We are in the process of retiring KVM and moving it to a VM on VMware. We are planning to do a Virtual 2 Virtual (V2V) copy to move this instance to VMware. After the migration nothing changes including OS, SID, IP and hostname. We have a distributed installation with Apps and db on seperate hardware. This move is only for the Apps. The DB remain as it is and is on a physical server, not a VM.
My question is, whether a V2V copy method is supported by SAP for productive operation, or do we have to do the traditional SAP migration ? Do we get support from SAP if somthing goes wrong after the migration ?
Is there a need for a certified consultatnt to perfomr this kind of harware migration ?
Our SOLMAN (701) is on Red Hat Linux (RHEL 5.4) with oracle database( 10.2.0.4).
Appreciate your help and thoughts on this issue.
Regards

During the planning phase, thing s got changed and now the direction is to move both Apps and database servers to VM.
So would V2V still work for both of these ?
I have read in forums to d a clean install of OS and then to perform a system copy procedure to be safe for this kind of migration. Clean instal of OS is for avaoding any device driver issues that may arise due to V2V, sicne the hardware differs from source to target. Any comments on this approch ?
Also, I would like to keep the hostname and IP of the target same as the source, to avoid any integration issue aftert the migration. How can I achieve this ?
Are there any other methods to do this migration, facilitating a testing pahse of the target system and minimal downtime during the cutover ?

This maybe old but i have the same question.

Shall we use virtual machine(vmware) for signing windows driver?

Recently I have purchased code signing certificate from CA and it is mentioned that the machine which is used to generate a certificate should be the same which will be used for signing. To avoid problems in future, is it possible to use virtual machine
for signing windows driver and take backup of Virtual machine to use in any machine in future?

I don't think that is necessary, you need to be very careful about how you store and persist the cert
