Hi,
what version does your ovs-agent have?
rpm-qa|grep ovs-agent
It should be ovs-agent-2.3-38
Have you tried disabling firewall and selinux on server and manager?

Service Manager 2012 Agentless Monitoring and SQL Servers More secure distribution

Having both SCSM 2012 and 2012 in my network, I want to monitor the all using a single account which is securely distributed. The problem is agentless monitored servers does not appear in the "more secure" list.
My Scenario:
I have scsm 2012 installed with the following condition:
SCSM Main DB -> Monitored with Agent (not a management server)
SCSM Data Warehouse -> Agentless monitored
SCSM Workflow and other Management Servers -> Agentless Monitored
Some Test SCSM 2012 Servers with SQL on the same machine -> Agentless Monitored
Some Test and Operational SCSM 2012 Servers -> Agentless Monitored
I want to use a single account to monitor them all, I have set the "Service Manager Database Account" profile (yet to understand why Service Manager Database
Account is actually a Profile!) and in the underlying account set the distribution to "more secure" . As stated above, I have many servers with the SQL running on the management serves and I cannot
configure them in the SQL account.
Is my scenario wrong?
Thanks
YSobhdel

It seems the SQL MP is monitoring the database on agentless managed computers without my permission!
All my agentless managed computers are using the default action account to monitor the SQL!
Any explanation why is that so?
Thanks

Error Code -OVM-1000 OVM Manager could not connect to {0}, please check

Hi
When i tried to import the template through OVM Manager it throws the follownig error.(It was working fine before)
OVM Manager could not connect to {0}, please check the IP and Oracle VM agent password.
I did the following trouble shooting
1.Reset the OVS agent password but didnt work.
2.I am able to import ISO files and created the shared disks.
3.Checked the connectivity between OVM Manager to OVS server and checked /etc/hosts file,firewall settings ( disabled state in both) & timings also.
But i couldnt pinpoint the exact issue. Can anybody help me out on this?

Fixed it. Shutdown all the VMs and rebooted the base server. Configured the ovs-agent ( ovs-agent configure) again and restarted the ovs-agent.(ovs-agent restart). Now i am able to import the templates.
Also OVM Manager shows all the VMs in shutdown status after reboot the base server and i fixed it used "Reset" button in OVM Manager.
1) Click on the Virtual Machines tab found on the top left corner.
2) Select the radio button of the appropriate virtual machine that has the incorrect status displayed.
3) Click on the ‘More Actions:’ drop down box and select the option ‘Reset’
4) Click the ‘Go’ button for the reset to take place.
Once the ‘Go’ button is selected, the virtual machine will reset and display the appropriate virtual machine status.

Death of OVM manager. How to recover?

I found myself in a situation where my OVM-manager server got hosed and I had to rebuild it (disks died, and since it's a test environment, no backup of the host exists).
Unfortunately I had previously set up an OVM pool and repository.
I re-mounted a repository NFS share that was in use on the now dead OVM-manager installation. That worked, and it inserted itself into the Storage->Fileservers list
I attempted to reload this share as a repository on my new OVM-manager installation, it told me I couldn't because it belonged elsewhere.
Now that I try to delete it from the list of File Servers, it tells me I can't because
"OVMRU_002005E repo01 - Cannot delete NAS or fileSystem with a repository on it."
This was despite the fact that it is not even recognised a repository on my new OVM manager box.
So I went a deleted the share on the NFS device, but the error persists.
Attempted to rediscover the share, and since it can no longer find it, that doesn't help the new OVM manager decide that is an "ex-NFS mount"
Attempted to re-try deleting the file server mount, but it refuses to go away and out of the list, even though it is not even recognised as a repository on my new OVM manager install.
Seems like OVM has some big issues regarding handling ownership.
On a separate issue, I tried taking ownership of some OVM boxes tied to the old and dead OVM-manager, and I was rebuffed there too.
I went and reinstalled the OVM servers as well.
it seems like the death of an OVM-management server means the death of the entire architecture, including the repository and all files, and forces a complete rebuild.
Any idea how to fix this?

I'm no expert, but I know that the OVM Manager install has an option to force a specific UUID, so the manager will look "exactly like" the original one, and everything works again. I'm not sure that this scenario is applicable to you, since I'm fairly new to all this. But perhaps you can determine what the old UUID was (you may have written it down, or it's stored in your cluster data somewhere, and re-install with that UUID. I think this is mentioned in the docs, and there are postings here about it.

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.

I upgraded OVM manager to 2.2 and having problems after that. If I try to create a virtual machine using OVM manager, it gives ma errors like File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.3/OVSXUtility.py", line 167, in get_storage_repos raise Exception("No storage repository found!")What version are your Oracle VM Servers? 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).

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.

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

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.

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 .

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.

How many time to install/configure OVM Manager and OVM Server ?

Hello,
I wish to have your experience feedback on the mean time needed to install both OVM Server and OVM Manager in a production environement, with e.g : 2 CPUs, 4 G of RAM, or for 4 CPUs and 8 G of RAM.
Regards,
Lionel

Not enough information. XE is not supported in a production environment so you will need to install a SE or EE version of Oracle Database. I would personally use EE because the Virtual Manager comes with a single use license that covers running the VM Manager on either edition. No extra cost to run EE over SE.
You can use kicstart to rapidly deploy any VM Server. If you get your scripting right... it takes less than 10 minutes.

Repository after reinstall server and ovm manager

I have problem
I have one server connected FC to SAN storage. I have repo with vm on storage luns. After power crash i must to reinstall ovm on server and also reinstall ovm manager.
Now can i connect old reository to new/reinstall server witouth loosing any data?

Server with manager had hardware failure. Idont have backup so i have to install ovm manager on new machine.
Vm server have problem with file system, dont seen the luns also xend dont start. So i reinstall also this server.
I know that new ovm manager dont recognize old repository disk, so i create new lun on storage and create new repository on it. Now from CLI i map old ocfs repository and copy virtual disk and vm.cfg to new repository, but ovm manager dosn see any of them.

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.

Problem with oracle-xe perhaps?

Fails to Launch Console Using OVM Manager 3.0.2 GUI

hi,
I simply want to open a VM using 'Launch Console' on the OVM Manager.
So I select the VM, then select 'Launch Console'. A popup window opens which allows to open or download "ovm_rasproxy-ws.jnlp"
when i try to open "ovm_rasproxy-ws.jnlp". java web start say's "Starting application" and it gives the below Unexpected Error
An error occurred while launching/running the application.
Title: Oracle VM Remote Access Service
Vendor: Oracle
Category: Unexpected Error
Unexpected exception: java.lang.Exception
Can anybody help me out...
Thanks in Advance

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,
With Regards,
