What sequence of installations of VM products and Oracle Templates ?

Question

My target is to use EGRCM 8.6.3.1 & EGRCC 8.6.3 with EBS 12.1.1 EGRCI 3.0.2 on linux 5u4 on my laptop without loosing my win 7 environment. EGRCM cannot be on same server as EGRCC
Kindly correct the sequence I plan to follow.
1. EBS 12.1.1 & GRCM
--> Win7 on laptop
--> VMware (server or player??? ver ???)
--> Oracle Virtual Server (ver ??) with no Oracle Virtual Manager
--> Oracle VM Temp for OEL 5
Is PV Small x86_64 (64 bit)      V18922-01 ok ??
--> OVM Template for EBS 12.1.1 Vision
--> Oracle VM Template for Template Builder (may or may not use it)
--> Oracle VM Template WebLogic Server 10gR3
--> Install GRCC products
Do I need Oracle VM Template for MySQL Enterprise ?
2. EBS 12.1.1 & EGRCM
--> Win7 on laptop
--> VMware (server or player??? ver ???)
--> Oracle Virtual Server (ver ??) with no Oracle Virtual Manager
--> Oracle VM Temp for OEL 5 64
Is PV Small x86_64 (64 bit)      V18922-01 ok ??
--> Oracle VM Template for EBS 12.1.1 Vision 32
--> Oracle VM Template WebLogic Server 10gR3 and manually update to 11gR1
OR
Install WebLogic Server 11gR1
--> Content Server 10gR3 (10.1.3.3.3)
--> Install SOA 11g Patch set
--> Other GRCM related
--> Oracle VM Template for Template Builder (may or may not use it)
--> Do I need Oracle VM Template for MySQL Enterprise ?
3. Within Oracle VM Server can one use a OVM Template and then update it?
4. Also can you have templates for some products and wile install some other products in the same Orqcle VM Server?

Answer 1

Regarding (1) in my post:
i) Is the sequence correct ?I do not understand your sequences, they are confusing.
ii) Which one do you suggest to install .. VMware Server or Vmware player and if so which version.Pl let me know.Server. For the version, just download the latest one (as long as it is not beta).
iii What ver of Oracle VM Server should I use for the templates linux 5u4 64 bit. Almost every version got linux 5Please check the certification matrix on MOS website to verify what OS is certified with the product you are planning to install/use.
iv) Will I need to install Oracle Virtual Manager too ?I do not understand why you need this.
v) I dont know what it means but for meaning of PV kindly go to Linux/Templates option in edelivery... select VM Templates for linux 64bit ..then select Oracle VM Template for linux 5 64bit ... you see several products listed like "Oracle Linux 5 Update 4 template - PV Small x86_64 (64 bit)" , " PV x86_64 (64 bit)" and "PV Large x86_64 (64 bit)" etc. More info is available if you click Readme icon on top left of the table listing products. Oracle VM Windows Paravirtual (PV) -- Oracle VM and Microsoft Windows [ID 468634.1]
vi) Do I need Oracle VM Template for MySQL Enterprise ?If MySQL is required then yes.
vii) Regarding your reply to (1) of my original post: "If you cannot install it directly then the answer is yes".... please explain if I cannot install what directly and the answer is yes to what?Directly means on a physical machine.
Regarding (2) of the post :
You say why I keep asking about same questions ......
(1) was about GRCC but i made a typo GRCM instead of GRCC. (2) is about GRCM and two different ways one can go about installations. All the three use different products so it not same question.
As for asking version, I don't want to land in a situation of after spending weeks (at my pace and knowledge level) and realize all 90% I did is waste cuz I used the wrong version in the very first step itself.For version questions please always refer to the certification matrix (from MOS website).
If you have a valid CSI number, I would suggest you log a SR.
Thanks,
